Kuwait's Prime Minister Ahmad Abdullah al-Ahmad al-Sabah will serve as the Emir's deputy when the latter is not in the country, state news agency (KUNA) said on Sunday citing a royal decree.
Emir Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah has yet to choose a Crown Prince.
Sunday’s Emiri decree states that the designation would remain valid until the naming of a Crown Prince, and that the Prime Minister should comply with the order and inform the National Assembly.
The Emiri order takes effect once published in the official gazette.
