NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY
Jordanian political party, created in May 1997 on the impetus of Abdul Hadi Majali, brother of Prime Minister Abdul Salam Majali. A union of nine pro-monarchy centrist parties, formed at the behest of King Hussein, the National Constitutional Party was meant to strengthen the king's hand in dealing with the demands of the Jordanian-Palestinian movements in future negotiations on the definitive status of the Palestinian territories.
