Kuwait cabinet nominates PM as new emir: minister
2006-01-24
Kuwait's cabinet on Tuesday unanimously nominated Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah as new emir of the Gulf Arab oil producer, Justice Minister Ahmad Baqer said. Baqer told Reuters an official letter with the nomination will be sent to parliament on Wednesday. If confirmed by parliament, Sheikh Sabah, who has been de facto ruler of Kuwait for the past four years, will officially replace ailing emir Sheikh Saad al-Abdulla al-Sabah who was voted out unanimously by parliament on health grounds earlier in the day.
