The demise of Kuwait's 86-year-old Emir, Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah, signals the end of his low-key, three-year reign focused on resolving internal political strife.
Kuwait state television interrupted regular programming with Quranic verses to announce the sombre news.
The cause of Sheikh Nawaf's death remains undisclosed.
Following his passing, Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al-Sabah is named as the new emir, according to Kuwait's cabinet.
The late emir's health had been a matter of concern since late November when he was rushed to the hospital.
Sheikh Nawaf's leadership, marked by domestic challenges and diplomatic efforts, now transitions to Sheikh Meshaal amid regional and global attention.
Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Mishal al-Ahmad al-Sabah dissolved parliament, assuming its responsibilities and suspending specific constitutional articles for up to four years. In a candid address, he highlighted rampant corruption within state institutions and emphasised the urgency of addressing pervasive challenges. This decision follows the first elections under his leadership, amid persistent conflicts between the National Assembly and the cabinet, hindering reforms to reduce oil dependency. Resistance from politicians during a scheduled parliamentary meeting underscores ongoing power struggle. The move, termed historic by analysts, reflects the enduring dominance of the Al-Sabah family despite Kuwait's parliamentary system.
