Kuwait's constitutional court nullifies last year's legislative elections and reinstates the previous parliament, as a political crisis roils the oil-rich Gulf state
Kuwait's crown prince last year dissolved parliament and called early polls in an effort to end prolonged domestic political feuding that has hindered fiscal reform.
Sunday's move comes at a time of renewed friction between the elected parliament and government and follows the reappointment this month of the country's prime minister, whose government had resigned in the stand-off with parliament. However, Justice Mohammad bin Naji on Sunday said the court had declared the dissolution of parliament as void and had annulled the early elections held in September.
Frequent political bickering has often led to cabinet reshuffles and dissolutions of parliament, hampering investment and reforms aimed at reducing the country's heavy reliance on oil revenue.A lawmaker from the dissolved assembly, Abdullah Al Turaiji, welcomed the move as "correcting the government's mistake in dealing with parliament".
