According to the spokesman of the Muslim Brotherhood's political arm Jamil Abu Bakr the group's committee  expelled four members namely  Mohammed Masaad, Madallah al-Tarawneh, Aref Abu-Eid and Ahmed al-Qadah and are still looking into the membership of three other members who were also breaching the party's boycott

The group had decided to boycott the polls in protest to a new law reducing the number of seats for lawmakers in urban areas, where it has influence and in turn increased seats from the rural areas with government supporting tribes .
