The elections for the Standing Bureau of Jordan’s House of Representatives during its third ordinary session, which covered five positions, exposed the weak cohesion of some parliamentary blocs. Agreement among several blocs held only in the election of Ibrahim Tarawneh as Speaker, while disagreements emerged in the contests for the other positions. The results have prompted calls to amend the House’s Rules of Procedure to strengthen the institutional framework of the blocs and clarify their relationship with their parties, as well as their decision-making and accountability mechanisms. The current provisions allow a bloc to be formed by at least 10% of House members and give blocs 14 days to submit their bylaws. Lawmakers will soon face a test in forming the standing committees: the deadline for reaching agreement is November 16, following the session’s opening on November 2. The committees will take up important matters, including amendments to the Social Security Law and the 2027 budget. The article concludes that the strength of the blocs will be measured by their ability to develop shared positions and programs and to carry out legislative and oversight work—not by their membership numbers or the positions they hold.
