Dima Jamali (Arabic: ديما جمالي) is a Lebanese academic and politician from Tripoli. She was one of six women elected MP in 2018,[1] for the Future Movement,[2][3] however, her win was revoked by virtue a decision rendered by the Constitutional Council after evidence of tampering with the ballot results was confirmed.[4] She suspended her role in the parliament for a job abroad. In a statement released by her press office, she clarified that she took on the new job in UAE and “suspended her participation” in parliament because she “regretfully realized that working there did not provide the desired result.”[5]
