Summary
Major blocs include those backing the ruling family, Islamists and moderate liberals.The vote came after the death in September of Kuwait’s ruler, the 91-year-old Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah. The outgoing parliament then approved Sheikh Nawaf’s choice for crown prince, Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmad Al Jaber, the 80-year-old deputy head of Kuwait’s National Guard.The new parliament will need to make decisions on a number of matters, perhaps none more important that Kuwait’s economy.This fall, the ratings agency Moody’s downgraded Kuwait for the first time in its history.
