“We have no problem with changing the law to prepare for the coming parliament elections, also we do not have problem with adopting the multiple circles law similar to that followed by the advanced countries,” h added noting “We are with changing the current law but through coordinating with the Independent High Electoral Commission.”

“In principle, the majority of the political blocs are convinced of Saint Lego except the State of Law Coalition where all the blocs positively voted on the law save the SLC, expecting that the idea of changing the Saint Lego Law will win acceptability to enact a new law that ensures justice.”
