Kuwaiti Crown Prince dissolves parliament, calls for early election

 

Kuwait's Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah dissolved parliament and called for an early election on Wednesday.

 

In a televised speech, he said, “We have decided to dissolve the National Assembly and call for general elections… The people themselves will have the final word in rectifying the political scene by selecting those who properly represent them.”

 

He also claimed that the executive branch has not carried out its responsibilities "properly" and that some officials have not "committed to the pledge to work toward achieving political stability and serving the country and its people."

 

Sheikh Al-Sabah reiterated that the constitution will be firmly followed and will not be amended, obstructed, or suspended.

 

It is noteworthy that the current National Assembly was elected in December 2020.
