AMMAN — MP Hind Fayez presented an official letter on Tuesday to Lower House Speaker Atef Tarawneh asking to withdraw her letter of resignation, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, quoted House General Secretariat sources as saying.

Fayez resigned from the Lower House on Monday over an altercation between her and Tarawneh after he closed a discussion on the number of seats and electoral districts allocated for each governorate under the draft elections law.

During the session, Fayez said she does not accept being a “false witness” when it comes to debating a very crucial law and demanded that the speaker respect MPs.
