No Surprises in Jordan Results

No surprises here: the new Jordanian Parliament will be dominated by pro-Government elements, tribally aligned candidates, and King's Men. The Islamic Action Front boycott and revised electoral rules pretty much guaranteed the result. At least one IAF member who ran did win, and there'll be 13 women: 12 seats are reserved for women and another won on her own.
