DUBAI: Kuwait’s Emir on Tuesday issued decree to dissolve parliament, Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported. The country’s Crown Prince Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah said the dissolution of parliament came “because of practices and actions that threaten national unity.” Last week, Kuwait appointed Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al Sabah, the ruling emir’s son, as the prime minister to lead the 12-member Cabinet until the dissolution of parliament ahead of early elections, according to KUNA. The date of the vote has yet to be announced. It represents Kuwait’s fifth government in the last two years, as the country’s emir-appointed Cabinet and elected parliament battle over power-sharing.
