In this context, the Mubadara bloc announced the nomination of MP Mustafa Al-Khasawneh for the presidency of the House of Representatives, while the Centrist Parties bloc announced the nomination of MP Suleiman Al-Zabin for the same position.
The Azm bloc also nominated MP Dr. Ayman Abu Hanieh, without announcing, according to available information, a candidate for the presidency of the House so far.
On the other hand, the names of MPs, the current Speaker of the House of Representatives Mazen Al-Qadi, and MPs Mujhem Al-Sqour, Awni Al-Zoubi, and Ibrahim Al-Tarawneh, from the Al-Mithaq parliamentary bloc, stand out among the names being circulated and proposed in the race for the presidency of the House, at a time when the final picture of candidates and parliamentary alliances has not yet crystallized.
The data indicates that the coming period may witness intensive meetings and contacts, both inside and outside the offices, between the parliamentary blocs, with the aim of discussing opportunities for consensus on one or more candidates, and determining their positions on the entitlements related to the elections for the presidency of the House and the formation of the permanent bureau, in addition to the elections for parliamentary committees.
The Al-Mithaq bloc gains importance in the calculations of the parliamentary scene, given that it includes the largest number of MPs, which makes its position on candidates and potential understandings an influential factor in the course of the competition, and in the opportunities for building alliances capable of deciding the elections.
It is expected that the blocs' consultations will focus on bridging points of view and coordinating positions, in light of the possibilities of competition between more than one candidate, and what may accompany this in terms of understandings related to the distribution of parliamentary positions and the arrangement of priorities during the coming period.
The election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the formation of the permanent bureau, and the election of committee chairs and members are considered parliamentary entitlements that are renewed according to the constitutional frameworks and the internal regulations of the House, and constitute an important station in organizing parliamentary work and determining its priorities during the parliamentary session.
With the continued movement among the parliamentary blocs, the results of the expected consultations and understandings remain a decisive factor in drawing the features of the competition for the presidency of the House, in light of the multiplicity of names proposed for the position. If parliamentary consensus decided the elections for the presidency of the House of Representatives in the last second ordinary session, eyes are turning this time to what the blocs' meetings and contacts will result in, and the extent of their ability to reach a consensus on a candidate for the presidency, or will the multiplicity of candidates lead to resorting to the ballot box to settle the competition?
