AMMAN — Member of Parliament Yanal Freihat revealed in a special statement to Rum News that members of the National Party parliamentary block have reached a consensus to designate veteran MP Saleh Al-Armouti as the block's leader. He announced that the block will hold a meeting next Sunday at the party's headquarters to formally elect its president, deputy president, spokesperson, and rapporteur.
Freihat explained that the agreement on Al-Armouti reflects internal understandings among the block's deputies, noting that the upcoming gathering will finalize the selection of remaining organizational posts.
Regarding the elections for the permanent bureau of reference for the House of Representatives, particularly the race for the council presidency, Freihat indicated that the National Party block will likely declare its official stance next Sunday, once the trajectory of broader parliamentary understandings concerning permanent bureau positions becomes clear.
He emphasized that the block is open to any consensus arrangement that ensures its representation with a seat on the permanent bureau, signaling a willingness to coordinate with other parliamentary factions to secure a role in the chamber's leadership.
Conversely, Freihat warned that if the block is excluded from these arrangements and denied a seat on the permanent bureau—mirroring its experience during the previous session—it will field one or more of its deputies to compete directly for positions within the bureau.
He added that all options remain under consideration, pending the results of ongoing parliamentary consultations and political negotiations over the coming days.
These remarks coincide with escalating parliamentary momentum ahead of the internal elections for the permanent bureau, as political blocks weigh their strategies regarding the leadership race and anticipated alliances for the upcoming legislative phase.
