Jordan’s powerful Muslim Brotherhood says it is boycotting upcoming parliamentary elections, Washington Post (2012)

This news article says Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood said Friday 13 July it will boycott upcoming parliamentary elections in protest over recent changes to the kingdom’s election laws, which it says fall short of opposition demands. The elections, expected at the end of the year though no date has officially been set, are critical to the king’s campaign. He 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.
