Kuwait to Hold Parliamentary Election on Sept. 29

 
 
KUWAIT CITY (Reuters) – Kuwait will hold a parliamentary election on Sept. 29, state news agency KUNA reported, after the Persian Gulf state’s crown prince moved to dissolve parliament in a bid to resolve a political standoff between the government and the elected legislature.  Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah, who has taken on most of the ruling emir’s duties, issued a decree calling on voters to elect a new 50-seat assembly on Sept. 29, KUNA said. New districts will be added to the electoral circumscriptions, the decree showed.
