Muslim Brotherhood to boycott Jordan's parliamentary elections
The Muslim Brotherhood has said its political party, the Islamic Action Front, will boycott Jordan's parliamentary elections due by the end of the year. They said recent changes to the election law weren't enough, and warned of further public protests. But they said they might reverse the decision if there were serious reforms.A boycott could thwart King Abdullah, who has promised reform in hopes of avoiding anti-government unrest in the wake of the Arab Spring. The Brotherhood's deputy leader, Zaki Bani Rusheid, said, "The regime has failed to meet reform demands by Jordanians, including the Islamist movement."
