Kuwait’s National Assembly will end its sessions on Thursday after pledging allegiance to the new Crown Prince, in the event His Highness the Amir reaches a decision on his selection, the Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim said on Tuesday.
His Highness the Amir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, in accordance with the Kuwaiti constitution, has one year to name the next in line, Al-Ghanim said in a statement.
In the event the parliament does not receive a decision a day ahead of the closing session, the matter will be postponed until after the termination of the session according to constitutional and legal procedures, he added.
