Family Power in Jordan
The “Jordanian Narrative” list highlights the repeated appointment of members of Jordanian families to leadership positions. Among them are Mudar and Adnan Badran, and Samir and Abdelmunim Rifai, who served as prime ministers; members of the Majali family have held ministerial posts and the premiership. The list also includes Ibrahim and Atef Tarawneh as speakers of the House of Representatives; Faisal Akef Fayez, who served as both prime minister and speaker; and Nader Dahabi as prime minister, alongside his brother Mohammad Dahabi, who headed the General Intelligence Department. It also names Maen and Nidal Qatamin, who held ministerial posts. The recurrence of these names has prompted discussion about how broadly decision-making is shared, equality of opportunity, and the role of family connections, networks, and experience in reaching senior positions.
