Rulers
The line of monarch of Bahrain - the office this state names as its head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa | 1961 – 1999 | 38 years | died in office of natural causesWikidata's manner of death | |
| Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa | 1999 – in office | in office since 1999 | still in office | child |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1961 – 1999. Only 38 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Heads of government
The line of Prime Minister of Bahrain, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.
