Kuwait City: After the opening session of the 16th legislative term of Kuwait’s National Assembly, many are wondering if the events that unfolded will impact parliament moving forward?
The most prominent take away from the first session was that Marzouq Al Ghanim was re-elected as speaker of parliament after receiving 33 votes from the 64 members that were present.
Al Ghanim’s re-election came as a surprise to many as 42 of the elected MPs publicly declared, last week, that they will be backing Bader Al Humaidi’s nomination for speaker.
“The MPs that vowed they will vote for Al Humaidi but did not shows that they are against the public’s calls to replace Al Ghanim as the speaker of parliament,” Saud Al Asfoor, a Kuwaiti writer, told Gulf News.
