Fayez added that the amendments aim to change the true representation of the people of rural and badia areas, noting that “this is a plan to weaken Jordan’s role” and that Parliament must be given sufficient time to discuss these amendments.

Fayez urged a thorough review of the law before endorsement, voicing his concern for the fact that “the law may be passed without a debate, and without consideration to the threats it will pose to Jordanians’ representation.”
