🇸🇦 succession to the Saudi Arabian throne

In Saudi Arabia, the throne is passed down through the male descendants of the founder, Ibn Saud, in a line of succession that prioritizes the eldest son or closest male relative. The current system is based on the 1932 decree of King Abdulaziz, which established the principle of male primogeniture. The line of succession is typically determined by the monarch, with the approval of the Allegiance Council, a group of senior princes who advise on succession matters.
