New Kuwaiti government sworn in for third time this year
There are three members of parliament from opposition parties in the Cabinet.
A new Kuwait government took office Tuesday.
Prime Minister Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Sabah is head of the new Cabinet, which Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah approved, the official Kuwait News Agency reported.
This is the third Kuwaiti governmental Cabinet to take office in 2021. The previous Cabinets resigned in January, March and November. Sabah was prime minister of all of them and was again tasked with forming a government by the emir in November.
The successive resignations are related to the stormy relationship between the government, which is dominated by the Sabah family, and parliament, which is largely populist.
