The prime minister of Kuwait is the head of government of Kuwait. As the third most powerful official in the country, following the Emir of Kuwait and Speaker of the National Assembly, the prime minister leads the executive branch of the Government of Kuwait.
Abdullah Al-Salim Al-Sabah, the Emir of Kuwait during the period of Kuwait's independence, appointed himself the first Prime Minister of Kuwait on 17 January 1962, after the Constituent Assembly was elected to draft the Constitution.
Until 2003, the Crown Prince of Kuwait was usually appointed to the office of prime minister.
Mohammed Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah has held the position of Prime Minister of Kuwait since 17 January 2024 and transitioned to a caretaker role on 15 April 2024 after his successor was designated. Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdullah Al-Sabah assumed office on May 15, 2024, after being sworn in before the Emir of Kuwait.[1]
