Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah has dissolved the National Assembly (parliament).

This was disclosed in a statement on Tuesday August 2, 2022.

According to the statement, the decision is aimed at “rectifying the political scene involving lack of harmony and cooperation, in addition to differences, conflicts, personal interests, failure to accept others, practices and behaviors that undermine national unity”.
