A high level judicial source and a member of the Supreme Committee of Elections said that the Law of the Practice of Political Rights did not include what is called "political alliances in the parties' lists during the parliamentary elections." They said the Democratic Alliance, which includes 48 parties is a political agreement, not an electoral one. The source said that the Law of the Practice of Political Rights states that the electoral list of each party should include only the party's candidates, not candidates from another political party, which means that there is nothing called "political alliances during the elections." The director of the "ACIJLP," Nasr Ameen, said, "There is nothing called political alliances during the elections. The law does not recognize this. An electoral list must include candidates who belong to just one party, not more than one." Ameen added that the Democratic Alliance could be described as a political conglomeration but during the electoral process candidates will choose a closed list which includes one party candidates.
