Jordan's Islamist opposition party tops parliamentary elections
Briefly

"The Islamic Action Front (IAF), the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, won 31 out of 138 seats, tripling its representation in the House of Representatives. This result is historic for the Islamists and their largest showing since they gained 22 out of 80 seats in 1989. This election reflects a demand for change, with voters expressing their tiredness of the old governing methods."
"Wael al Saqqa of the IAF stated, 'The Jordanian people have given us their trust by voting for us. This new phase will increase the burden of responsibility for the party towards the nation and our citizens.' This underscores their commitment to the electorate following the election victories."
