Kuwait parliament dissolved
Kuwait’s leader has dissolved parliament, setting the stage for the second elections this year, state-run TV reported.
Today’s decree comes after months of political gridlock and a failed attempt by the Western-allied government to overturn a voting district law that appeared to favour opposition groups led by Islamists.
Opposition groups took control of parliament in February elections.
No date for the elections have been announced but they are expected later this year in the oil-rich nation.
