Al Abadi said that the Shura party will raise the voices of the silent majority and the marginalized.

The "next step requires very hard work," He added.

Abadi said the Shura Party will not be for "show" or for " politically décor". It will not serve a particular person nor the government. The new party supreme interest is the State of Jordan and will guard against anyone who would adversely affect the interests of the Jordanian nation. The dangers surrounding the Homeland have reached a critical point, and this requires that we do away with " political niceties."
