Typical fervor surrounding electoral activity is conspicuously missing
(MENAFN) With 75 days remaining until the parliamentary elections on September 10, the typical fervor surrounding electoral activity is conspicuously missing. Despite the Independent Election Commission's diligent adherence to legal timelines, including publishing voter lists and handling objections, the overall atmosphere is notably subdued.
According to the secretary-general of a political party, the pace of electoral engagement is expected to quicken once political parties start announcing their electoral lists. This development is anticipated to stimulate electoral activity across the Kingdom.
Partisans point to ongoing dialogues between parties with similar programmatic visions as a reason for the delay in presenting party lists. These discussions aim to establish joint lists, a process further complicated by the presence of internal oversight bodies within the parties. These bodies are tasked with reviewing and approving candidate names before they are officially announced.
Prospective candidates believe that the delayed dissolution of the current House of Representatives has put a damper on mobilization efforts. The anticipated dissolution is expected to energize candidate activities, both within electoral districts and through party lists.
A royal decree to dissolve the House of Representatives is expected next month. As per Article 78, paragraph (2) of the Constitution, elections must be held within the four months preceding the end of the Council's term. If elections are delayed, the current Council remains in place until a new one is elected. Article 74/2 requires that if the Council is dissolved more than four months before the end of its term, the government must resign within a week, and the prime minister cannot be reappointed to form the next government. If the Council is dissolved after August 14, the decision on the government's continuation rests with King Abdullah II.
In summary, while current electoral activities are muted, various factors, including party dialogues, oversight processes, and constitutional provisions, are shaping the pace and nature of preparations. The anticipated dissolution of the House of Representatives next month is likely to trigger a significant increase in electoral mobilization.
