Kuwait: Kuwait's Amir reappointed Shaikh Sabah Al Khalid Al Sabah as prime minister on Sunday after the cabinet resigned last week in a standoff with parliament.
Amir Shaikh Nawaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah, facing his first big political challenge since taking power in September, tasked Shaikh Sabah with nominating a new cabinet for approval, state news agency KUNA said.
The barely one-month-old government had been acting in a caretaker role since it resigned over the confrontation with parliament.
The motion earlier this month to question Shaikh Sabah, premier since late 2019, was supported by more than 30 MPs in the 50-seat assembly in which the opposition made gains.
