Objective: This study aims to examine the legislative amendments introduced by the Jordanian Political Parties Law and their impact on parliamentary work in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The objective is to foster collaboration between governments and local communities in promoting the rule of law, human rights, and inclusive community development. Theoretical Framework: The research utilizes analytical theory and a descriptive methodological framework to explore the legislative context. Core concepts, including systematic political organization and power-seeking dynamics within political parties, provide a solid foundation for understanding the study's context. Method: An analytical approach links the newly introduced legal provisions to their anticipated outcomes. This method involves a detailed examination of the new law, particularly Article 58, Paragraph 4 of the Election of the House of Representatives Law No. 4 of 2022.
