2024 Haifa municipal election

The 2024 Haifa municipal election was held 27 February 2024 to elect the mayor and city council of Haifa. Originally scheduled for 31 October 2023, the elections were delayed due to the Gaza war.

Background

Haifa's incumbent mayor was Einat Kalisch-Rotem who had defeated the previous mayor, Yona Yahav, in 2018.

In July 2021, several parties in the City Council formed the Change Council, an informal coalition of parties opposing Kalisch-Rotem. The Change Council held a majority in the City Council. Later that month, two of Kalisch-Rotem's deputy mayors were removed from office by the City Council, and replaced by Change Council members in August.

On 13 June 2023, former Mayor Yona Yahav announced his intention to run for Mayor. Yahav won the mayoral election in February 2024 by defeating David Etzioni, winning over 62% of the vote.
