Practical procedures for the two party merger aim at contributing to the strengthening and empowerment of national parties by creating a democratic national party model that meets the aspirations of the Jordanian people especially in the coming phase, which includes the formation of parliamentary governments. 

Secretary General of the Islamic Center Party Mustafa Amawi said that through this merger, “we seek to launch an active national party that is capable of reflecting the interests, priorities and concerns of society within a viable program, in order for us to reach the formation of a hard-core, representative bloc as an essential element in the successful transition to the desired parliamentary governments.”

Amawi asserted that citizenship is the foundation that brings Jordanians together. Secretary General of the National Coalition Party, Raheel Gharaibieh, said that the next phase requires strong and effective parties capable of adopting the programs emanating from reality, the ability to diagnose problems, and the development of alternatives and solutions with expertise and competence.

Gharaibieh added that the merger will contribute to the formulation of a different party scene and a different new phase.

The two parties had held two separate meetings before the merger was announced, during which individual party members voted in favor of the merger.
