Kuwaiti Crown Prince Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah announced today the dissolution of the National Assembly and the call for general elections.
He said in a televised speech that this constitutional procedure aims to “re-correct the course of the political scene in a way that achieves the higher interests” of the country, criticizing the recent rift in the relationship between the executive and legislative branches.
He added that the decree calling for elections will be issued in the coming months, after preparing the legal arrangements and said elections would be unbiased.
The Crown Prince pledged not to undermine the constitution and affirmed that it is the legitimacy of the rule.
Representatives in the National Assembly began a sit-in a few days ago, “in refusal to disrupt the provisions of the constitution, paralyze political life, tamper with the nation’s resources, and political blackmail.”
