Writer Abdulhameed Abdullah says in an article that the political process is need of continuous change and development in order to keep pace with political action and consequences that dictate certain variables for dealing with all components of political spectra.
For the guarantee of that continuity, whether the political party is in power or in the opposition, it has to coexist with all changes and to manage its relations with the rest of political parties and organizations present on the political arena. It has to define the type of its relationship with those parties and its relationship with the masses of the people as well as its sticking to the national constants.
Stagnation from which the political process is suffering is a normal thing because of the youthfulness of the democratic experiment and narrowness of the democratic margin.
However, it has been noticed recently a kind of political action represented by a number of political parties holding their general conferences after holding a complete internal electoral sessions. That may be a result of a number of accelerating political changes and rapidity of international, regional and local events, politically and economically.
Hence, there comes the importance of changes inside the parties as an important strategic necessity so that they can embody the democratic practice inside their ranks in the first place. Prospects of hope in this political action are big. If the political parties, especially the opposition ones have tried continuation of this momentum and energies with their members they would have achieve much in interest of the political party and achievement of its goals that would pour in interest of the homeland.
