Due to the extraordinary circumstances, the election was limited to a vote of the membership the party's Central Committee, rather than being open to the party's general membership like the preceding 1992 leadership election and all subsequent Israeli Labor Party leadership elections (with the exception of the 2003 election of an interim party leader). The day after the leadership election, Peres was invited by President Weizman to form a new government. On 21 November 1995, Peres signed a coalition agreement between Labor, Meretz and Yiud (which had been members of Rabin's government), which was formally approved by the Knesset the next day, establishing a new government with Peres as prime minister.
