Kharisha mentioned that 38 percent of party
members are youth, a reassuring statistic, especially given that the Parties
Law mandates youth representation to be at least 20 percent of the party's
founders, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.

ministry’s vision: Strengthening political participation in Jordan
Additionally, Kharisha launched the ministry's
strategic plan for the next four years, highlighting its strategic objectives
and executive plans aimed at fostering citizen participation in politics and

Kharisha noted that His Majesty King Abdullah
has consistently stressed the importance of expanding decision-makers and
empowering Jordanians in elections based on programs, adding that His Majesty
has spearheaded political, economic, and administrative development and
modernization, with political reform as a primary focus.
This was evident in the establishment of the
Royal Committee to Modernize the Political System, followed by the National
Assembly's approval of legislation regulating political activities.

with monitoring the implementation of recommendations for updating the
political system, in collaboration with official institutions, civil society,
