Assessment
The Ra'am party is holding its first-ever primary election on August 22, a significant internal shift for the Arab Islamist party. The primaries will occur separately from the Islamic Movement's conference and without subordination to the Shura Council, indicating a move toward more independent or transparent internal processes. How this change affects Ra'am's political alliances and discipline within the party will be important to watch.
