The pragmatic prince will retain his role as defense minister and is promoted to deputy prime minister, while his younger full brother Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz is made interior minister, state TV said on Monday.
Prince Ahmed had been deputy interior minister for several decades under the late Nayef. King Abdullah stays on as prime minister.
