Parliament elections differ greatly from Senate elections, in terms of interest, momentum, follow-up, competition, electoral promises, and narrow constituencies, and this is due to the nature of the Council and its important powers for the lives of citizens.
I followed many conferences of some parties and independents, even though they were overwhelmed by the large crowd in the marquees, and the candidates made excessive electoral promises to their voters, and that their lives would be better, if they elected them.
Without exception, the candidates presented their electoral program, and their service promises to improve the lives of citizens, make their reality better, improve infrastructure, health and educational conditions, empower youth, establish cultural platforms, support scientific research, empower women, enhance their role at all levels, provide initiatives to support industry and entrepreneurship, and many beautiful promises to make life a paradise for citizens.
The candidates forgot that the majority of them were previously under the dome of Parliament, and did not side with the interests of the citizens, nor did they do justice to them under the dome in laws that oppressed them, oppressed them, and burdened them with more burdens, and that the majority of them were only seen by the citizens before the elections, and even the service offices open to them did not provide anything free of charge to them, but were managed through employees under their management, and the majority of the representatives disappeared and their moon did not appear until near the next elections.
Voters have not learned their lesson yet, and with the end of each parliamentary session and the beginning of the next, they are divided. Rather, they forget their role and that they are the real source of authority for these representatives. It was their votes that brought them to Parliament, and they did not choose well. Rather, they were controlled by fanaticism, tribalism, and familism. They forgot their interests, and racism permeated them. The candidates even exploited their division to buy their votes and manipulate their promises to get closer to their sheikhs and the heads of their families.
Although these promises are outside their parliamentary powers, and far from their real role in oversight, legislation, and its issues, holding the government accountable, and evaluating the performance of its ministers and all its institutions.
I do not want to say that the voter himself views the candidate as responsible for preparing his life, linking his role to the role of local councils, turning the representative into a first-class service representative, flirting with his voters with the services he seeks to provide to the people of his district, and neglecting his true role as a representative of the people.
We in the Justice Party read the reality well, and raised the slogan “We are different from all of these, and that people’s interests come first before interests. Their interest is to monitor the government’s performance and meet their needs, to object to every law that affects them, and to present legislation that alleviates their suffering as a result of economic reforms. The citizen has the right to live a decent life. He can meet his basic needs without pressure or suffering. He has a constitutional right to health, educational, social, cultural, and economic care and legislation that moves him forward.” It promotes it and maintains the stability of society.
In justice, we raised a call: We are the voice of the middle class, the pillar of the balance of society, the preservation of its stability, and the builder of its renaissance. We were faithful to their voice within Parliament, and our bias towards them was always clear, and the Parliament’s office bears witness to that, and God is a witness to all our promises.
We know that we are in the election season, which is controlled by political money, tribalism, and familism, that we are facing forces greater than our limited capabilities, but we are honest in building our ambitious political project slowly, and we are betting on the intelligence of the voters in choosing the most honest, away from tribal hatreds, and away from exploiting poverty by buying their votes.
Our message to the voters is to choose the best fit, to evaluate these candidates, to use their constitutional right to elect and vote, not to boycott the elections, and to go to the polls to choose, of their own free will, who will be their voice, who will express them for the next five years under the dome of Parliament, and not to allow their votes to be sold, for your vote is a trust and you must maintain that trust, for you are the source of power, and power is always with the people.
