Given the latest pressing national challenges and regional turmoil, several speakers reiterated that reforms in Jordan cannot be perceived as a luxury anymore but rather a prerequisite for democracy and development, the initiative by King Abdullah II aims at putting forward political reforms. The outcomes of the Royal Committee mainly propose newly drafted election and political parties’ laws, constitutional amendments connected to these two laws and provide recommendations on developing legislation regulating local administration.
