who will be the next emir of kuwait
As of today, December 16, 2023, the question of who will be the next Emir of Kuwait has already been answered. Following the death of Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah on December 16th, 2023, Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, the Crown Prince, was immediately named the new Emir of Kuwait.
Sheikh Meshal, a former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, ascended to the throne in accordance with the Kuwaiti Constitution and the established succession process within the Al-Sabah ruling family.
Therefore, there is no uncertainty about the next Emir. Sheikh Meshal has already assumed the role and begun his duties as the leader of Kuwait.
It's important to note that the situation was quite fluid immediately after Sheikh Nawaf's passing, and news outlets may still be reporting on the succession process or providing background information. However, the official line is that Sheikh Meshal is the new Emir of Kuwait.
