Kuwait: Kuwait's ruler reappointed Prime Minister Shaikh Nasser Al Mohammad Al Sabah on Tuesday to select ministers for the Gulf Arab state's new cabinet.
Analysts said it was a sign that little would change in the country following Saturday's parliamentary election.
Kuwait's ruler, Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, dissolved the assembly in March to end the standoff with the government.
However, many of the same faces are back in parliament and political sources said they expected Shaikh Nasser to reappoint many of the same ministers.
The cabinet had formally resigned on Monday, as required by the constitution after the election.
