Sources: AFP/France24 and Jordan public holidays. Late yesterday, Jordan's Prime, Minister Maaruf Bakhit, announced that the date of Tuesday, November 20, 2007, had been chosen for the upcoming legislative elections (one of the 3 dates we had speculated about in a recent post).Analysis: At the time of the recent municipal elections, also set on a mid-week Tuesday, the government had declared a one-off public holiday to encourage people to participate (see our post of July 16), and although no such announcement has yet been made, we think that it is quite likely that Jordan will declare a one-off public holiday on that occasion.
