A new government in Kuwait , the seventh in three years, saw the light on Sunday, headed by Sheikh Ahmed Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah , less than four months after the previous government resigned following a political crisis with Parliament.

"An Amiri decree was issued to form the new government headed by Sheikh Ahmed Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah," the Kuwait News Agency reported.

This is the fourth government formed by the son of the Emir of the country since he was appointed prime minister for the first time in August 2022.

Sheikh Talal Khaled Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah retained his position as First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, and the Ministry of Defense was entrusted to him by proxy.

Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah also retained the foreign portfolio, along with Badr Al-Mulla, Minister of Oil.

The Prime Minister renewed his confidence in the two former ministers, May Al-Baghli, who retained the position of Minister of Social Affairs, Women's and Childhood Affairs, while Amani Boukmaz kept the Public Works portfolio.

And last month, the Kuwaiti Constitutional Court ruled that the legislative elections that took place last year and won by the opposition were invalid, against the backdrop of appeals that questioned the validity of the constitutional decrees related to them, and ruled in favor of restoring the previous parliament to the political front in this country that has been witnessing recurring crises for years.

Unlike other countries in the region, Kuwait enjoys an active political life and its parliament, whose members are elected for a four-year term, enjoys wide legislative powers and often witnesses heated debates.

The country, located near Iran and Iraq, is rocked by frequent political crises related to the government, figures from the ruling family, and a parliament that has been dissolved several times.

The reason is often the demand of deputies to hold ministers from the princely family accountable over issues including corruption.

The three governments that were formed in Kuwait less than a year ago failed in their work due to a conflict with Parliament.

The previous government submitted its resignation on January 26, due to the insistence of the deputies to interrogate a number of ministers, in addition to approving the law dropping consumer loans and their benefits for thousands of citizens who defaulted on repayment, amid controversy over its financial cost.

The new government is the seventh in Kuwait in three years and the tenth since 2013, as previous governments resigned following political disputes, especially against the background of deputies' request to interrogate ministers from the ruling family.
