Kuwaiti Crown Prince Announces Dissolution of National Assembly

Yesterday evening, Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Mishaal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah announced the constitutional dissolution of the 2020 National Assembly, which was restored by the ruling of the Constitutional Court, and called for general elections in the coming months.

In a speech addressed to the nation on the occasion of the last ten days of Ramadan, on behalf of Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, the Crown Prince said that getting out of the repercussions of the current political scene requires referring to the constitution as the reference and document of governance, rallying around the people and implementing their desires.

Sheikh Mishaal Al-Ahmad also announced that he would accompany the stage of dissolving the National Assembly by “issuing a set of political and legal reforms to transfer the state to a new stage of discipline and legal reference to prevent disagreement and prevent all kinds of abuse of power by the legislative and executive authorities, and to ensure the impartiality and integrity of the authority.”
