Parliamentary.
Badrawi added to Al-Bawaba News that the idea of launching a single list will have a significant negative impact on political and partisan life due to the absence of the opposition’s role in the political scene, and even if the opposition is found, it will be a small number that will also distance it from exercising its rights.
