Amcha Yisrael, led by Ofer Winter, submitted an independent candidate list to Israel's Central Elections Committee on September 7, 2026, for the October 27 legislative election, explicitly declining any joint run despite earlier pressure from figures like Bezalel Smotrich. The New Economic Party, headed by Yaron Zelekha, instead formed an alliance with Yoaz Hendel under the Reservists banner and submitted its own separate slate by the early September deadline. With 38 parties filing lists and no procedural merger between these two groups, trader consensus at 99.9% reflects the completed filing process and absence of any announced or executed agreement. Late legal challenges to list validity or unforeseen coalition maneuvers before election day remain the only narrow paths that could alter the outcome.
