According to a late Thursday night report on Kol Chai Radio, an earlier report (HERE on YWN) stating Rav Mordechai Eliyahu Shlita supports the candidacy of Nir Barkat in the Jerusalem mayoral race was not true.

In the latter report, Kol Chai Radio quoted Shlomo Eliyahu, a son of the Rav, stating that he double checked with the Rav and the story circulating simply has no basis in the truth, adding the Rishon L’Tzion in his current state has no plans of entering into political affairs.
