​MP Majhem Al-Sqoour congratulated his colleague MP Ibrahim Al-Tarawneh on winning the confidence of fellow MPs and securing the presidency of the House of Representatives, emphasizing that his position is not driven by losing a position or competing for the Speaker's chair, but rather stems from a constitutional principle embodied in the independence of the House of Representatives from the executive authority.
​Al-Sqoour stated: "I am not speaking of a lost position or competition over a seat, but rather about a constitutional principle that must remain above all considerations: the independence of the House of Representatives from the executive authority."
​He added: "What occurred in terms of government interference in selecting the Speaker of the House of Representatives demands scrutiny, alongside arrangements being settled outside the parliamentary dome. The question I pose today: how can MPs exercise oversight while the Prime Minister interferes in the House?"
​He continued: "Cooperation between authorities does not mean the subordination of one to another," stressing that his stance "is not an objection to the person of the elected Speaker, but rather a defense of the dignity and independence of the House."
​Al-Sqoour concluded by stating: "We may lose the election for the Speakership of the House, but we must not lose the House itself. The seat is temporary, but the House of Representatives must remain master of its own decisions."
