KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait 

Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah reappointed Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah as prime minister, according to state news agency KUNA on Tuesday.

Sheikh Sabah tendered his government’s resignation on Nov. 14 amid a row with opposition lawmakers.

The resignation came as several lawmakers sought to question the prime minister and other ministers on various issues, including corruption and the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
