CGTN

Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah on Friday ordered the dissolution of the National Assembly and suspended certain constitutional provisions for up to four years, the country's state television reported.

In a televised speech announcing the decision, Sheikh Mishal accused some members of the parliament of obstructing ministerial appointments and challenging "the exclusive constitutional right" for him as the head of state to "select the Prime Minister and the cabinet members."
