Jordan’s leading Islamist opposition party has won 31 out of 138 seats in the kingdom’s parliament, tripling its representation in the house, according to official election results released today.

The Islamic Action Front, the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, came ahead of other parties and factions in the legislature following Tuesday’s polls, but far from forming a majority.
