At the same time, he suspended some articles of the constitution for more than four years. And during this period, all aspects of the democratic process will be studied, he said.
The country’s state TV said the emir and the country’s cabinet would take over the powers of the National Assembly after the dissolution of parliament.
Emir Sheikh Meshaal Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah said, Kuwait has recently gone through very difficult times, which led to difficult decisions to be made to save the country and protect the country’s highest interests. There is no room for hesitation or delay.
This is not the first time; Kuwait has experienced cabinet reshuffles and parliament dissolutions before. This is due to decades of political deadlock.
The Kuwaiti legislature is more influential than the legislatures or similar bodies of other Gulf monarchies.
