After the Hejaz was restored to the Ottomans, the provincial administration was restructured, and it was organised as the Vilayet of Hejaz.[24] This led to the creation of two parallel political and administrative bodies: the Emirate and the Vilayet.[24] After the Governor started to reside in Mecca, the Vilayet in a way took the Emirate into its jurisdiction, leading to a situation of dual government.[13]
