List of political parties in Jordan explained

This article lists political parties in Jordan. Jordan has 31 officially registered political parties, but few play a real role because of lack of organization and clear political platforms.

The role of parties is significantly limited by institutional factors as well. The king is vested with somewhat broader executive power than is usually the case for a constitutional monarch, making it difficult for a party to win control of the government solely at the ballot box. Additionally, the electoral system is significantly malapportioned in favor of rural areas.[1]

There is no clear picture on several political parties in Jordan, but sources mention the following parties.
