Kuwait's Emir on Monday appointed Ahmad Abdullah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah as prime minister, state news agency KUNA reported.

Former Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Sabah al-Salem Al-Sabah resigned in April only a few months after he was designated to form a government.

His resignation was a procedural move after a new parliament was elected that month, the fourth since December 2020.
