New PM named to oversee Jordan elections

BEIRUT, May 29, 2016

Jordan's King Abdullah appointed veteran politician Hani Mulqi as prime minister after dissolving parliament on Sunday, charging him with overseeing elections before the end of the year, a senior political source said.

The monarch accepted the resignation of premier Abdullah Ensour, as is customary under the constitution before appointing an interim head of government to oversee the election.

Parliament had ended its four-year term and the election should be held within four months under the constitution.  - Reuters
