[1] Following the election, Prime Minister Marouf al-Bakhit and his cabinet resigned, as it normally followed in the Jordanian political system.

King Abdullah II appointed Nader al-Dahabi as the new prime minister on 22 November to lead a new technocratic government.

885 candidates contested the elections,[3] including 199 women, the highest participation of female candidacy the country had seen.

Marouf al-Bakhit, the prime minister, turned down the request which he said would mean "that Jordan's transparency and electoral process is questionable".

As reports of "vote buying" spread, a local newspaper published a picture showing a voter allegedly receiving a sum of money from the aide of a candidate.
