​Member of Parliament Qasim Al-Qaba'i questioned the reasons why some Jordanian voters cast their ballots for political parties despite those parties failing to support their interests during legislative debates under the dome of the House of Representatives.
​Speaking as a guest on the "Rum" Podcast, Al-Qaba'i stated that Jordanian voters must review the legislative stances of the parties they vote for, questioning the utility of voting for a party that did not stand by its constituents on issues directly touching their daily lives and interests.
​He added: "Why do you go and vote for a party that did not stand with you on the Social Security Law, nor on professional labor regulation, nor on the Abu Khushayba Agreement, nor on the Water Agreement? How can you vote for a party that failed to support you and your interests?"
​In the context of discussing the role of political parties in defending citizens' rights, Al-Qaba'i noted that the Labor Party fought a battle under the parliamentary dome demanding an increase in allocations for the University Student Support Fund, stressing that the party exerted all possible efforts to achieve that objective.
​He explained that quadrupling tuition fees at public universities—according to his remarks—served to reduce the number of student beneficiaries from the fund, questioning whose interests MPs are defending when introducing such proposals under the dome.
​Al-Qaba'i emphasized that demanding Jordanians' rights must encompass providing free university education, considering it a right deserving priority status in parliamentary discussions and decisions.
​He concluded by expressing hope that Jordanian voters will display greater awareness in their electoral choices, casting their votes for parties and candidates who genuinely defend their interests and represent them effectively in legislation and laws under the parliamentary dome.
