Kuwait cabinet steps down after parliament polls

The Kuwaiti cabinet on Monday (November 28th) submitted its resignation to the emir following snap parliamentary polls , an official statement said.

The move falls in line with the emirate's constitution, which requires the cabinet to step down after polls, AFP reported.

After accepting the resignation, Kuwaiti emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah will either reappoint the outgoing premier, Sheikh Jaber Mubarak Al-Sabah, or name another senior member of the ruling family to form a cabinet.

The new cabinet must be formed before parliament holds its first session within the next two weeks.

Voters dealt a heavy blow to candidates from the outgoing parliament, with more than half of them failing to win seats in the new assembly.
