Sheikh Ahmad reappointed as Kuwait’s prime minister
ISTANBUL (AA) – Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah has been reappointed as Kuwait’s prime minister, according to the state news agency KUNA.
Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah has issued a decree, asking Sheikh Ahmad to form a new government, KUNA said.
On Sunday, the crown prince had accepted the resignation of the government led by Sheikh Ahmad — only two months after its formation.
On July 24, Sheikh Ahmad was appointed as prime minister four months after the resignation of the previous government amid severe disputes with lawmakers.
Last week, Kuwaiti opposition lawmakers secured nearly 60% of seats in the 50-seat National Assembly, according to official results.
