The study targeted all 55 political parties licensed
and registered at the Ministry of Political and Parliamentary Affairs.
Secretary-General of Al-Hayat Jordanian Party Abdul
Fattah Al-Kilani said: “I think that the percentage exceeds 31.5 percent, and
we, as a party, have expressed our position of urgency in approving the law
without taking into account the outputs of the Royal Committee [to Modernize
the Political System].”
Secretary-General of the
Jordanian Democratic Popular Unity Party, Saeed Thyab, said that “the election law, the climate in
which elections are held and the decline in public liberties through the arrest
of activists has created a state of dissatisfaction among the parties”.
Thyab indicated that the “any observer of various
components of society will see that rejection and dissatisfaction is the
current state of affairs”.
The media spokesman for the
Islamic Action Front Party said that the party had suspended its participation in elections, and
that the election law is one of the reasons.
He also said that there is an encroachment on civil life,
the general political situation, and tampering with the popular will, which
will affect civil society institutions.
