The Kuwaiti government's Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah was reappointed by an Emiri order on Sunday.

The Emiri Court announced that Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad has been assigned to immediately carry out the decision and form the country's new 15-ministry cabinet, according to a statement published by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).

It is worth noting that in March, Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Sabah was re-appointed by the Kuwaiti Crown Prince, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, to form a new government more than one month after the former government resigned due to political rifts with the parliament, KUNA reported.

Fiscal reforms, in addition to other bills regarding the Gulf country's economic policies, have caused tensions between the government and the National Assembly, leading the former to announce its resignation in January.

The government submitted its resignation to the political leadership in the wake of the recent crisis with the National Assembly against the backdrop of popular laws, as well as the two interpellations directed at Finance Minister Abdul Wahhab Al-Rashid and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Barak Al-Shitan.

The Emiri order came in accordance with the country's constitution, which authorizes the Crown Prince to carry out some of the constitutional powers of the country's Emir.

The Kuwaiti constitution stipulates that after announcing the results of the parliamentary elections, the government must submit its resignation in order for a new government to be appointed.

It is noteworthy that on June 7, the Kuwaiti legislative elections to choose the 50 deputies of the 2023 National Assembly, resulted in the rise of 10 new faces, distributed over the country's five constituencies.

According to election results, Kuwaiti figures affiliated with the opposition won the majority of the seats in the National Assembly.

In early April, a new government, the seventh in three years, saw the light, less than four months after the previous government resigned following a political crisis with the Assembly.

However, a few days later, the Emir dissolved Parliament and called for new legislative elections, after the judicial authorities nullified the results of the legislative elections that took place last year and were won by the opposition.
