Jordan PM paves way for anticipated cabinet reshuffle

AMMAN

Jordanian Prime Minister Omar al-Razzaz on Wednesday asked members of his cabinet to tender their resignations in advance of an anticipated government reshuffle.

According to official Jordanian sources, the reshuffle is expected to be carried out “within days”.

Al-Razzaz has been quoted by official Jordanian news agency Petra as saying that the planned reshuffle “comes in line with the requirements of the upcoming phase”.

He did not elaborate further.

Notably, the anticipated reshuffle will be the third such government shake-up since al-Razzaz formed his first cabinet in June of last year.
