The Kuwaiti Emir, on Tuesday, issued an order accepting the resignation of the government, the official Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.
The order instructed the government to act as a caretaker until a new cabinet was formed, KUNA said.
The National Assembly, the legislative authority of Kuwait, would be informed of the resignation, it added.
On April 5, the Kuwaiti government submitted its resignation to Crown Prince Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
On November 23, 2021, the crown prince issued an order on behalf of the emir to appoint Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah as prime minister and assign him to form a government.
On December 28, 2021, Kuwait formed a new government led by Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah.
Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah, a member of the ruling Al-Sabah family and premier since late 2019, has faced a combative legislature as the head of successive cabinets, with opposition MPs bent on questioning him over issues including perceived corruption.
The current government was appointed in December, the third in 2021 as the standoff with the elected parliament dragged on.
