Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to give a victory speech later Monday as exit polls show he is one vote away from securing a narrow majority in Israel’s parliament, according to a report.

The three polls indicate that Netanyahu’s Likud Party won 60 of the Knesset’s 120 seats, one short of a majority, in the third election in less than a year, The Times of Israel reported.

With polls closed, Netanyahu’s Likud Party was predicted based on exit polls to pull ahead of rival Benny Ganz’s Blue and White Party.

Netanyahu, the longest-serving prime minister in Israel’s history, failed to amass a governing majority in elections held in April and September.

Netanyahu has been dogged by corruption charges, which he denies, and will stand trial on March 17.
