This new law sets out the conditions for the establishment and membership of political parties, regulates their financing and activities, with a strong emphasis on transparency and accountability. Additionally, it seeks to enhance active citizen participation in political life by simplifying registration procedures and providing government financial support contingent on adherence to legal standards. The law also includes provisions to protect the rights of political parties and their members, and aims to strengthen the role of parties in parliament by encouraging alliances and presenting comprehensive political programs. Despite potential challenges in its implementation, Law No. 7 of 2022 provides a comprehensive legal framework aimed at developing the party system in Jordan, thereby promoting political stability and democratic development.
