TDT | Agencies
Kuwait’s cabinet has been asked to prepare for election this year after its prime minister handed over his government’s resignation, state news agency KUNA reported.
Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Khalid al-Sabah met Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah, who assumed power last Wednesday.
As per the country's constitution the PM "submitted his resignation and that of his government to ensure ministerial responsibilities are held by those who enjoy the emir's confidence", KUNA said.
It said Sheikh Nawaf expressed his full confidence in the current cabinet, which was formed last December.
Sheikh Nawaf, 83, took the helm of the state following the death of his brother Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed last Tuesday aged 91.
