Kuwait said Saturday it will hold elections for its national assembly on April 4.
The state-run KUNA news agency made the announcement, citing a decree published by the oil-rich country's official gazette.
In February, Kuwait’s emir dissolved parliament.
Domestic political disputes have been gripping Kuwait for years. That has left it with little in its coffers to pay bloated public sector salaries, despite generating immense wealth from its oil reserves.
Parliament has been repeatedly dissolved after failing to move forward, with Kuwait’s Constitutional Court in 2023 annulling a 2022 decree overturning another such annulment. The country’s late emir then annulled that parliament again and held an election for a new parliament, which was annulled with the February decision.
