Chairperson of the Royal Committee to Modernise the Political System, Samir Rifai, said that efforts are focused on drafting laws for political parties and elections linked to each other, leading to a partisan parliament and party life representing Jordanians.
Speaking to party leaders representing the Al-Wasat (Center) Party Group, Rifai added that the new political parties law will only encourage party work, and the government will not be dealt with in the field of finance.
He pointed out that discussion tends to recommend transferring the party registry from the Ministry of Political and Parliamentary Affairs to the ndependent Election Commission (IEC), and for the first time today, the election and political parties laws are examined in this parallel way, pointing out that the committee will present a roadmap for developing parties within legal frameworks that stimulate young people, especially in universities.
Rifai further added that efforts are focused on reaching a programmatic partisan parliament that contributes to developing parliamentary performance and strengthening the democratic approach, based on a deep belief in the importance of parties and partisan work, stressing the need to enable parties to obtain information from governments and institutions to build their national reform programs.
