Livni still ahead in final Israeli election results: report

JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's ruling Kadima party retained a one seat lead over Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud in the final results of Israel's general election, Israel Radio reported on Thursday.

Livni's centrist Kadima won 28 seats and Netanyahu's opposition Likud took 27 in Tuesday's election for the 120-member parliament, the Israel Elections Committee said at a press conference in Jerusalem.

The final results for the leading parties mirrored initial numbers issued when polls closed on Tuesday.
