Alquraan is the youngest candidate in the elections, and if
his party, the Greens, win by 20 percent, he will become the youngest MP in the
history of the German parliament.
The German-born Alquraan,
hails from the region of Al Taybeh, in the north of Jordan. He stood for and
succeeded in reaching the German Youth Parliament. He joined the Green Party
and through his political performance convinced the party in the city of
Düsseldorf to be their candidate for the general parliamentary elections.
Alquraan’s priorities
in the electoral and political process are focused on better political
representation for the younger generation as well as human rights issues. He
wants the German Parliament to be an inclusive chamber in democratic practice
for diverse people and to reflect the diversity of German society.
He wants to represent
voices that haven’t yet been heard, and groups who he believes didn’t get the
opportunity they should have to speak their minds. Alquraan also focuses on the
COVID-19 pandemic and the economic and cultural implications that followed, and
on ways to fix them.
Alquraan advised young
Jordanians that the means for positive change are in their hands, that they
must take the initiative to help themselves and Jordan create a better future.
