This evening I heard from two people that Omar Maani is replacing Nidal Al Hadid as Amman’s Mayor. Maani, an engineer by education, comes from the private sector to the job. He is a director of a number of Jordanian industrial companies. He is also a board member of the Social Security Department’s Investment Unit.

Nothing about this in the Jordanian blogoshere but I saw a confirmation of it in Addustour’s site.

    Ù‹Well I’ve heard that the Municipality is having a ruff time, and they were asking the government to increase there percentage of money that comes from traffic tickets. They are about to have a loan for the first time in there history and lots of problems with LEMA.
    I hope this is nothing to do with these issues ;)

    I thought that mayors in Jordan were elected during municipal elections?

    Hello,

    I’m trying to know if this mayor had been elected by the 68 members of the MOGA council (as usual) or nominated by the king himself…? When was the official announce ?

    Thanks for your answer.
