Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Sabah al-Salem Al-Sabah submitted his cabinet's resignation as expected to the Kuwaiti emir on Saturday, the state news agency reported.

The move comes after a new parliament was elected on Thursday and is a procedural one as the current government has to submit its resignation before the legislature's inauguration.

Kuwait's new Emir Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad Al-Sabah will now either reappoint the same prime minister or a new one who will be tasked with forming a new cabinet.

Feuding between appointed governments and the elected parliament has often led to political paralysis in Kuwait. Thursday's election was the fourth since December 2020.
