Kuwait's Emir Appoints PM after Opposition Wins Election

摘要

Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Sabah issued a decree late Monday reappointing Sheikh Jaber al-Mubarak al-Sabah as prime minister following parliamentary elections late last week. Sheikh Jaber began serving as prime minister in a caretaker role Nov. 30 after the resignation of his controversial predecessor and resigned over the weekend, an apparent political formality before retaking the helm (IOD Dec.1'11).
