Kuwait Emiri Decree Dissolving National Assembly (2024)
مرسوم أميري بحل مجلس الأمة 2024
Summary
Emiri decree by Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad dissolving the elected Kuwaiti National Assembly and suspending parts of the constitution for up to four years. Ended Kuwait's tradition of the most vocal elected parliament in the GCC.
Impact
Significantly narrowed political space in Kuwait, which had been the only Gulf state with a meaningful elected parliament able to challenge the executive. Reflects a broader Gulf monarchic consolidation alongside Saudi MBS and UAE MBZ centralization.
