The vote took place in advance of the 1984 Knesset election.
After prospective challengers Yitzhak Rabin and Yitzhak Navon each announced on July 30, 1984, that they had decided against challenging Peres for leadership, Peres was left to be unanimously reelected without an opponent.[2][3][4][5] At the time, polls showed Navon to be the nation's most popular politician, while Peres was shown by polls to be very unpopular, a dynamic which had been one reasons a challenge by Navon was contemplated.[3]
