Al-Oudat sponsors the inauguration of the Jordanian Conservative Party's Political Academy

Al-Oudat confirmed that the establishment of the Political Academy is a step towards building and training party cadres to be able to carry the idea, formulate the program, and participate in decision-making. Investing in party cadres is an investment in the party's future and its ability to perform its national role.

Al-Oudat pointed out that the status of the party is not measured by the years of its age, but by what it adds to political life in terms of thought and program and what it has raised in issues for public discussion, stressing that the Jordanian Conservative Party has been able to prove its active presence in the party and political scene and national dialogue during the past period, and that it has a real opportunity to build on what has been achieved and move to more solid work and more mature programs and greater ability to influence.

For his part, the Secretary-General of the Jordanian Conservative Party, Dr. Talal Al-Shurafat, said: The Conservative Party has opted to be biased to the dignity of Jordanians and their bread, which requires qualifying party cadres and leadership on the bases of political discourse that is consistent with the constants of the homeland and the principles of democratic work based on firm intellectual convictions, and that party discipline is an important broad title for embodying the organizational partnership based on the transition from individual work to accomplished group work.

Dr. Al-Shurafat added that the Conservative Party will reach all regions of the homeland and its villages and deserts to entrench the values of Jordanian national identity, and the values of right, integrity, justice, and equality in a way that rises to the contents of the royal visions that heralded a democratic option that respects the will of the people and addresses their pending issues.

Shurafat explained that the sponsorship of the Minister of Political and Parliamentary Affairs of the launch of the Jordanian Conservative Party's Political Academy enhances the partnership between the government and the party forces, which requires the convergence of efforts to fortify the internal front by all means and loyal national efforts.

Abu Rumman added that the Jordanian society is going through a deep transformation phase, in light of the technological development that has changed all the tools of politics, and that the youth, who constitute the largest segment of society, are in need of training and qualification through programs that provide solutions to many of the problems they face.
