The Cabinet of Kuwait is the chief executive body of the State of Kuwait. The 41st cabinet in the history of Kuwait was appointed on 5 October 2022. On 5 October 2022, Amir of Kuwait His Highness Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah assigned His Highness Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah as Prime Minister. The Amir has also assigned the Prime Minister to refer the cabinet line-up for their appointment. On 5 October 2022, the new cabinet line up was announced after the Amir approved in an Amiri order.[1][2] Due to strong backlash from MPs and citizens about some of the recurring ministers returning, on 6 October 2022, the Prime Minister tendered a letter of governmental resignation to the Crown Prince a day after its formation, making it the shortest-lived government in Kuwaiti history.[3] The Prime Minister then met with MPs to take their ideas about the government's new formation in order to ease tensions between the government and parliament.[4]
