standards, dictation, exclusion and using false names, forced Local Councils

it with another in the name of revolution.

province’s election, but the committee showed negative reaction and tried to do
election on its way, which may increase dividing and discrepancy.

transparency, double standards, dictation, exclusion, ignoring the local councils'
points of view, following corrupted methods of election and using false names,
were behind the boycott.

Councils’ coordination office in Amman has big influence on decision-making of
the organizing committee which affected its neutrality.
