Kuwaiti PM steps down ahead of non-cooperation vote

Kuwaiti PM + government resign: Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al Khaled Al Sabah and his government have resigned after 10 parliament members filed a motion to no longer cooperate with the country’s leadership, according to state-run news agency KUNA. The PM’s resignation comes a day before he would have faced the equivalent of a no-confidence vote in parliament triggered by the MPs’ request, Reuters reports. A new prime minister will likely now be appointed, a Kuwaiti political analyst told the newswire.
