DescriptionAccording to an election poll published Sunday, the leading political parties were expected to receive the following number of mandates at next month's elections:

Kadima: 39, Labor: 19, Likud; 16, Shas: 11, NRP-NU: 10, Arab Parties: 8-9, Yisrael Beiteinu: 8, UTJ: 6, Meretz: 5, Israel Radio reported.

If Kadima does indeed win the March 28 elections, party chairman Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert would likely form a coalition with the political parties that did not attack Kadima during the campaign, senior sources in Kadima revealed on Saturday night.

Kadima officials praised Israel Beitenu leader Avigdor Lieberman and the haredi parties, who have decided against attacking Kadima, knowing that polls indicate the party will form the next coalition.

They said there was still a possibility that Likud and Labor would be in the coalition, but it would be more likely if prime ministerial candidates Binyamin Netanyahu and Amir Peretz no longer head their parties.
