Kuwait City [Kuwait], November 23 (ANI): Kuwait's Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Khalid has been reappointed as premier by an emiri order, local media reported citing state news agency KUNA on Tuesday.
According to Al Arabia, Al-Khalid submitted the resignation of his cabinet on November 8.
The government had previously been locked in a standoff with opposition lawmakers who have insisted on questioning Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Khalid Al Sabah in the elected parliament.
Several opposition MPs had insisted on questioning the premier on various issues, including handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and corruption, but a motion passed in March had given him immunity from questioning until the end of 2022.
The government started a dialogue with MPs to break the impasse, with the opposition demanding an amnesty pardoning dissidents and to be able to question Sheikh Sabah, who has been premier since late 2019.
