Jordan’s prime minister has resigned but will remain in office as caretaker until a new government is formed. The expected change comes at a time of voter apathy ahead of new elections, economic struggle and rapidly mounting COVID-19 cases.
King Abdullah II accepted Prime Minister Omar Razzaz and his Cabinet’s resignation on Saturday. The king also instructed Razzaz and the Cabinet to remain in office until a new government is formed, the state-run Jordan Times reported.
