Preliminary results from JordanÂ’s parliamentary elections showed the opposition Islamist party lost more than half its seats in an election it said was marred by fraud. Islamic Action Front (IAF) candidates won only seven of the 22 seats they fought in TuesdayÂ’s elections for the 110-seat assembly, an official source told Reuters. The IAF won 17 seats in 2003, when it ended a boycott that had turned parliament into a pro-government talking shop and became the only real opposition in the assembly. Initial figures on Wednesday showed a turnout of 55 percent of 2.4 million eligible voters. The IAF, the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood and by far the largest organised political grouping, was the only party contesting TuesdayÂ’s elections. The results consolidated the power of tribal leaders, pro-government candidates and influential businessmen tied to the royal family. Jamil Abu Bakr, deputy head of the Muslim Brotherhood, told Reuters widespread violations cast doubt on the fairness of the results.
