Bahrain Africa GOVERNMENT Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa acceded to the throne in March 1999, after the death of his father Shaikh Isa bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Bahrain's ruler since 1961. He championed a program of democratic reform shortly after his accession. In November 2000, Shaikh Hamad established a committee to create a blueprint to transform Bahrain from a hereditary emirate to a constitutional monarchy within 2 years. The resulting "National Action Charter" was presented to the Bahraini public in a referendum in February 2001. In the first comprehensive public vote in Bahrain since the 1970s, 94.8% of voters overwhelmingly endorsed the charter. That same month, Shaikh Hamad pardoned all political prisoners and detainees, including those who had been imprisoned, exiled or detained on security charges. He also abolished the State Security Law and the State Security Court, which had permitted the government to detain individuals without trial for up to 3 years. On February 14, 2002, one year after the referendum endorsing his National Action Charter, Shaikh Hamad pronounced Bahrain a constitutional monarchy and changed his status from Amir to King. He simultaneously announced that the first municipal elections since 1957 would be held in May 2002, and that a bicameral parliament, with a representative lower house, would be reconstituted with parliamentary elections in October 2002. As part of these constitutional reforms, the government created an independent financial watchdog empowered to investigate cases of embezzlement and violations of state expenditure in July 2002.

Country Listing Bahrain Table of Contents Bahrain Bahrain Government and Politics Figure 8. Bahrain: Government Structure, 1993 Shaykh Isa ibn Salman Al Khalifa, ruler of Bahrain Courtesy Embassy of Bahrain, Washington Manama, capital of Bahrain Courtesy Embassy of Bahrain, Washington In 1993 Bahrain was a constitutional monarchy in the form of an amirate with an executive-cabinet form of government and a separate judiciary (see fig. 8 ). The amir is head of state and also supreme commander of the Bahrain Defense Force (BDF); he exercises ultimate authority in all matters pertaining to the government. In addition to the amir, Shaykh Isa ibn Salman, principal government officials include his eldest son and heir apparent, Hamad ibn Isa, who is commander in chief of the BDF and deputy prime minister, and several other members of the ruling Al Khalifa. In accordance with the constitution adopted in 1973, the office of amir passes from father to eldest son unless the amir designates another male relative to succeed him. This clause of the constitution is not subject to amendment. Although the amir has substantial executive powers, in practice he has delegated decision-making authority to a cabinet since 1956, when an amiri decree created the Administrative Council, an eleven-member body that advised the ruler on policy and supervised the growing bureaucracy. In 1970 Shaykh Isa ibn Salman issued a decree that transformed the Administrative Council into a twelve-member Council of Ministers. The president of the Council of Ministers, the prime minister, serves as the head of government. The amir appoints the prime minister, who then forms a government by selecting members of the Council of Ministers, albeit in consultation with the amir. The ministers are directly responsible to the prime minister, who, like the amir, has authority to veto a decision by any member of the council.

@import "/css/screen.css"; @import "/css/print.css"; Grandprix.com Skip navigation Home News ... Store Search: Current Archive JANUARY 9, 2007 Bahrain buys into McLaren The Bahrain government has bought a 30% shareholding the McLaren Group, using its recently established new holding company called Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding. The company is chaired by Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, the Bahraini Finance Minister and a member of the Bahrain royal family. The company is wholly-owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain. If the deal is cleared by competition authorities, the team will be 40% owned by DaimlerChrysler, 30% by the Bahrainis, 15% by Ron Dennis and 15% by the TAG Group (Holdings) - the latter being an investment vehicle belonging to Mansour Ojjeh. The company will continue with the same management team as before but there is a very significant change in that it is the first time that Dennis and Ojjeh have been in the minority in terms of share ownership. This does not mean a great deal as there can be covenants between those involved to only act together (such an agreement previously existed between Dennis and Ojjeh). The move is interesting coming in the wake of the acquisition of shares in Ferrari and in Spyker by various Arab entities. Ferrari is partially owned Abu Dhabi's Mubadala Development Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Government of Abu Dhabi, which purchased five percent of Ferrari for $137m. It is worth noting that the Spyker F1 team is also partially owned by Mubadala. It is also worth noting that 15% of Spyker is also owned by a member of the Al-Khalifa clan through a company called MerchantBridge, which is controlled by Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdallah Al-Khalifa. This may be the reason that there have to be competition checks.
