The Jordanian
University Alumni Club held a dialogue meeting with Senator Mohammed Daoudiyeh
entitled "Parties and Elections in Jordan".
Daoudiyeh spoke about the importance of intensifying such
dialogue meetings, which contribute to raising the level of party culture among
members of the local community.
He said that there is a serious attempt to get rid of the
legacy of destructive parties, adding that the attempt will not be easy or
quick. He also stressed that party pluralism is important for the strength of
societies if it is used correctly, pointing out that parties are institutions
of construction, criticism, and reform aimed at governments.
He affirmed that the Jordanian political thought is a
national one, and that parties are one of the important necessities in the
lives and progress of peoples. He also pointed out that the Jordanian model is
considered to be the most democratic, and that new forces are produced by
parties.
Daoudiyeh added that the new election law distinguished and
empowered women and youth, and came in response to the political situation
emerging from the political modernization process, in order to reach a
parliamentary council that meets the aspirations of Jordanians.
