Jordan's pro-US. King Abdullah II swore in a new government on Sunday charged with speeding up modernisation of the kingdom.

Prime Minister Nader Dahabi, a former air force chief who transformed the special economic zone in the Red Sea port of Aqaba into a haven for multi-billion dollar investments, was appointed by the king on Thursday to replace Marouf Al-Bakheet, who resigned following last week's parliamentary elections.

The parliamentary elections, which were marred by accusations of vote buying and fraud, consolidated the power of tribal leaders, pro-government figures and businessmen on the 110-assembly. Jordan's king swears in gov't after election controversy - Politics & Economics - ArabianBusiness.com
