The Amiri Diwan said in a statement: “With great sadness and sorrow, we mourn the death of the late Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Emir of the State of Kuwait, who passed away to his Lord this afternoon, Saturday.”
The Emir of Kuwait was admitted to the hospital in November “following an emergency health problem to receive the necessary treatment and medical examinations,” according to what Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported. He was later announced to be in stable condition.
Sheikh Nawaf was named Crown Prince in 2006 before succeeding in 2020 his half-brother Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who died in September of that year at the age of 91.
He will also be replaced by his half-brother, the current Crown Prince Sheikh Meshaal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who is 83 years old.
Sheikh Nawaf was born in 1937. He is the sixth son of Sheikh Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the late ruler who led Kuwait from 1921 until his death in 1950.
During the 3 years of Sheikh Nawaf’s rule, the country witnessed the formation of 7 governments.
