The new Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah nominated on Wednesday Mishal Al Ahmed Al Sabah as his crown prince.
According to the Kuwaiti constitution, the Emir’s nomination for crown prince must be approved by the National Assembly.
In the case that the majority of National Assembly votes against the nomination, the Emir must submit three other names, one of which the National Assembly must approve, according to the gulf news website.
It is worth mentioning that, Sheikh Meshal, the deputy chief of the National Guard, is seen by diplomats and Kuwait experts as the top contender for the position.
