The Forces for Freedom and Change-Central Council (FFC-CC) maintained that only certain parties are entitled to sign the Framework Agreement and that it refuses to “flood the political process” with parties that are not interested in democracy. Rebel leader Malik Agar called the agreement “exclusionary and weak” and Wajdi Saleh said that it “will not lead to a democratic transition”.

Mohamed El Mahdi Hasan, head of the Political Bureau of the National Umma Party (NUP), says that the framework agreement is open for necessary amendments proposed by current opponents.
