Vacant(most recently Amram Mitzna) Shimon Peres (interim) The 2003 Israeli Labor Party leadership election was held on 19 June 2003[1] to elect the leader of the Israeli Labor Party.

The leadership vote took place following Labor's heavy defeat in the 2003 Israeli legislative election held in January.

[1][2] Quickly after this defeat, Amram Mitzna announced his resignation as party leader.

[2] Unlike the party's regular leadership elections since 1992 (which have been open to its general membership, with the exception of the 1995 leadership election held under extraordinary circumstances), the electorate of this election consisted only of members of the party's Central Committee.

[1] Peres won a strong victory over his two younger rivals.
