National Assembly (Kuwait)

The National Assembly (Arabic: مجلس الأمة, Majlis al-ʾUmma) was the unicamerallegislature of Kuwait. It was typically composed of 50 elected members and 16 directly appointed government ministers (ex officio members).

The assembly was frequently dissolved by the Emir of Kuwait. From 2006 to 2024, the assembly was dissolved 13 times. The assembly has been suspended since 10 May 2024 for a four-year constitutional re-evaluation due to frequent inaction, corruption, bribery, vote purchasing and political deadlock.
