A woman headed the united list of two left-wing factions. Fadwa Khader, a longtime leftist activist from Jerusalem, will head a list that combined the Palestinian People’s Party and Palestinian Democratic Union Party (FIDA). Attempts to have a wider unity of all left-wing factions failed.

The top two persons on the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine list are in prison. Ahmad Saadat, who is serving life imprisonment, is No. 1 and Khalida Jarrar, a former Palestinian parliamentarian held in administrative detention, is No. 2 on the Pulse of the People list.
