PM offers Muslim brotherhood to extend registration for elections

Prime Minister Abdullah Nsour said he offered the Muslim brotherhood to extend registration for upcoming parliamentary elections, if it wants to reconsider a boycott of the vote. Speaking after his cabinet was sworn in, Nsour promised the elections will be fair, hoping for the participation of all political groups, including the Islamists. He also said the government is not planning any commodity price hikes, before studying all options. On Syria, Nsour said Jordan does not interfere in its neighbor’s internal affairs and does not provide them with weapons, fighters nor money. Earlier, the prime minister held a series of meetings with the leaders of the Muslim action front and other opposition groups. He said the Islamic movement and the opposition are partners in Jordan’s political life, urging closer cooperation by all to serve the country’s interests.
