Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher al-Khasawneh resigns following parliamentary elections
Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher al-Khasawneh has tendered his resignation to King Abdullah II, as announced by state media on Sunday.
This development follows the parliamentary elections held on September 10, in which the opposition Islamic Action Front made significant gains.
The resignation is a constitutional step that facilitates the formation of a new government in alignment with the newly elected parliament. King Abdullah II now has the authority to appoint a new prime minister or reappoint Khasawneh to lead the next administration.
Bisher al-Khasawneh, who has been the longest-serving prime minister under King Abdullah II, assumed office in October 2020, succeeding Omar Al-Razzaz. His departure marks a transition in the executive branch as Jordan adapts to the results of the recent elections. (ILKHA)
