Jordan Legislative Election November Public Holiday Likely

Sources: Reuters and Jordan public holidays. Earlier today, Jordan's King Abdullah issued a decree dissolving parliament and called on the government to prepare for multi-party polls which, as we reported on July 16, must occur before the end of November. In our post of July 16, we also reported that the legislative elections day would probably be a one-off public holiday in the middle of the Jordanian workweek (most likely a Tuesday). So possible candidates are November 13, 20 or 27.
