Fifth place went to Adrian Zandberg, the leader of the Razem party, who was supported by 5.2 percent of voters.
In the second round, the two candidates who received the most votes in the first round will compete. The winner will, of course, be the one who receives more votes in the second round. The voting takes place at the same polling stations as in the first round, and eligible citizens can cast their votes between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. — in two weeks, on June 1st.
