Respect
In this regard, Al-Sanousi said the MPs must learn to respect the constitution and the law.

In the meantime, MP MP Hussein Al-Huraiti announced that he will resign from the 2009 National Assembly, indicating that re-election is the best way to surmount the current crisis, reports Al-Kuwaitiah daily.

“Let the Kuwaiti nation use its constitutional right to elect the candidate who is capable of realizing achievements for the benefit of the nation and stabilizing the political situation of the country”, said Al-Huraiti.

In a press statement that he issued from abroad, he stressed that he respects and trusts the Kuwaiti judiciary, pointing out that he had forewarned earlier through the judicial channels that both the 2009 and 2012 Parliaments are constitutional.

He hoped that all citizens would resort to wisdom in order to surmount such crisis for the good of the nation.

Meanwhile, MP Riyadh Al-Adsani said HH the Amir is the head of all authorities and he issued the decision to dissolve the 2009 Parliament.
