King of Jordan dissolves parliament, appoints new PM
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Jordanian King Abdullah issues a decree dissolving the current parliament, and appoints a new prime minister to ready the country for new elections.
The announcement comes at the end of the four-year term for the newly dissolved parliament. Former Jordanian prime minister Abdullah Ensour resigned from his position on Sunday, as is tradition before a new premier can be chosen to oversee elections.
The man tapped by King Abdullah as the new Jordanian prime minister is Hani Mulki, a long-time civil servant who served as the former chief commissioner of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority.
