Ibrahim al-Tarawneh was elected speaker of Jordan’s House of Representatives with 70 votes, compared with 37 for Mujhim al-Suqour and 23 for Suleiman al-Zaben—even though all three candidates belong to the same Mithaq Party, which holds 33 of the chamber’s 138 seats. Al-Suqour accused Prime Minister Jafar Hassan of intervening in al-Tarawneh’s favor, warning against undermining the independence of the legislative branch. King Abdullah urged the chamber to be a voice for the public and to oversee the government’s performance. The episode highlights divisions within the party and raises questions about the performance of political parties and parliament’s role in balancing the branches of government.
