In meetings with her campaign officials, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who is running for the Kadima Party leadership slot, will be presenting herself as carrying on in the tradition of Ariel Sharon. Her primary campaign slogan will be “Kadima with Livni,” a play on the Hebrew word Kadima, meaning “forward”.

The meeting was held in Livni’s home with a number of senior campaign advisors including campaign strategist Eyal Arad, PR expert Reuven Adler and attorney Yoram Raved. Other senior campaign officials were also in attendance and it appears the Sharon legacy approach will dominate her campaign.
