Al-Masry: One-year limit for municipal elections viewed as positive
The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Local Administration, Walid Al-Masri, confirmed that the dissolution of municipal councils in Jordan is only carried out for legal and appropriate reasons. He added that setting a maximum period of up to one year for holding elections after the dissolution aims to organize the process and achieve stability. Al-Masri explained that certain social and security circumstances, such as homicide cases and protests, may hinder the conduct of elections within the initially proposed six months, noting that previous legislation left the timing decision to the executive authority without a fixed deadline. He pointed out that limiting the period to one year is intended to address violations effectively and ensure the continuity of service delivery to citizens by the elected municipal councils. He emphasized the need for mechanisms of oversight and accountability without linking the dissolution of councils to the judiciary.
