Kuwait crown prince says parliament will be dissolved again

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Kuwait’s crown prince has said its parliament again will be dissolved and new elections planned for the country after a court decision reinstated lawmakers from 2020. Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmed Al Jaber made the announcement in an address to the nation Monday as the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan draws to an end this week. He called the decision the will of the Kuwaiti people. That’s according to the state-run KUNA news agency. Elections were scheduled within the next two months. In March, Kuwait’s Constitutional Court threw out a 2022 election for parliament, citing “discrepancies”  in the decree dissolving the 2020 parliament. That ruling briefly reinstated the former lawmakers.
