The Kuwaiti Emiri has re-appointed Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah as prime minister and assigned him to nominate members of the new government.
This comes more than a month after the government resigned due to increased tensions with the parliament.
The nomination of Sheikh Ahmed resulted in the dissolution of the parliament and the calling of early elections by crown prince Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah, who is also in charge of the duties of the governing emir.
Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah, who also oversees the duties of the ruling emir, nominated Sheikh Ahmed, effectively dissolving parliament and calling for early elections.
Sheikh Ahmed was first appointed as Prime Minister in July 2022. He was reappointed three months later, in October 2022.
In November 2020, an Emiri order was issued appointing Sheikh Ahmad as the deputy chief of the National Guards with a Minister’s degree. In March last year, another decree naming him as first deputy prime minister and minister of interior was issued.
