The National Assembly (Arabic: مجلس الأمة) was[1] the unicameral legislature of Kuwait. The National Assembly met in Kuwait City. The National Assembly was made up of 50 elected members and 16 directly appointed government ministers (ex officio members).[2]
The assembly was frequently dissolved by the Emir of Kuwait. From 2006 to 2024, the assembly was dissolved 13 times.[3] The assembly has been suspended since 10 May 2024.[4][5] The Emir now has full control over the legislation.[4][1]
