In light of the difference in opinion in the parliament regarding one-month suspension of the parliament, even though it is expected to lead to some tranquility in the coming period, informed sources revealed that His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled, who is in charge of forming the new government, will resume his consultations after the national holidays, and the new government is expected to come to light by mid-March.
This comes after the earlier consultations to form a new government were disrupted by a wave of nonacceptance, and by the constant parliamentary threats against the consulted members of the society who have potential to hold a ministerial docket.
The sources stated that Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled had expressed his desire to excuse himself from the assignment, but he was asked to continue leading the government and move forward with his consultations, especially in light of the current circumstances that the country is going through, and pending the developments that will occur in the coming days and weeks.
Commenting on the suspension of the parliament for a month, the source said it is not the end of the endeavors to bring an end to the political strife between the executive and legislative authorities, indicating that there are looming trends towards “other measures.” Also, they clarified that the persistence of the MPs for the approval of the “general amnesty” request based on their desire and contrary to what had been agreed on by others who had returned to the country may push these options to the table.
