Jordan’s king urges Islamists to take part in elections despite dissatisfaction with reforms, Washington Post (2012)

In this news article, Jordan’s king urged his country’s Islamist opposition Sunday to take part in upcoming elections, despite their dissatisfaction with reforms. Abdullah has changed 42 articles, or one-third of Jordan’s 60-year-old constitution, giving parliament a say in appointing Cabinets — a task which used to be his sole prerogative. He also created an independent electoral commission to supervise the vote, taking over the role from the Interior Ministry. Other moves included a political parties law that encourages a multiparty system and a municipalities law that allows Jordanians to govern their towns by electing mayors and city councils.
