Description

Jordan's King Abdullah II dissolved parliament this week halfway through its four-year term and called for early elections, Arab and international media reported. Abdullah, who holds most powers under the constitution, appoints governments, approves legislation and dissolves parliament. This is the second time Abdullah had dissolved parliament early since he acceded to the throne in 1999. No reason was given for Abdullah's sudden decision, but "the assembly had been accused of inept handling of legislation. It was already speculated that it might be dissolved." Liberal politicians said, "The move could herald a wider government shake-up to ward off popular disenchantment over economic contraction after years of growth, and allegations of official graft." Many politicians have accused Prime Minister Nader Dahabi's government of mismanagement as "it grappled with the impact of the global downturn on the aid-dependent economy and a rise in public debt to record levels," Reuters said. Abdullah had been counting on a new U.S. drive for Middle East peace, and the stalemate in Palestinian-Israeli relations is casting a shadow on a country a majority of whose six million citizens are of Palestinian origin.
