Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Nawaf dies at 86, Sheikh Meshaal named successor | Oneindia News

The demise of Kuwait's 86-year-old Emir, Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah, signals the end of his low-key, three-year reign focused on resolving internal political strife.

Kuwait state television interrupted regular programming with Quranic verses to announce the sombre news.

The cause of Sheikh Nawaf's death remains undisclosed.

Following his passing, Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al-Sabah is named as the new emir, according to Kuwait's cabinet.

The late emir's health had been a matter of concern since late November when he was rushed to the hospital.

Sheikh Nawaf's leadership, marked by domestic challenges and diplomatic efforts, now transitions to Sheikh Meshaal amid regional and global attention.
