Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah (born 1940) is the Prime Minister of the state of Kuwait. He was appointed Prime minister on February 7 2006 by the Emir, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. Sheikh Nasser graduated from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) with a BA degree in Political Science and Economics. Before becoming Prime Minister, Sheikh Nasser served in the past as an ambassador to Iran and Afghanistan, the minister of information, minister of social affairs and labour, minister of state for foreign affairs and minister of the royal court. He is fluent in Arabic, English, French and Persian.
The Emir re-appointed Sheikh Nasser as prime minister on March 6 2007, after the previous government resigned on March 4 in a move observers believe was aimed at avoiding a no-confidence motion against Health Minister Sheikh Ahmed Al Abdullah Al Sabah. Ten MPs presented the motion in February over suspected financial and administrative breaches at the ministry. The vote was due to have taken place in parliament on March 5 and Sheikh Ahmad, a member of the ruling family, would have had to step down if legislators had voted against him. In December, Information Minister Muhammad Al Sanousi resigned a day before he was due to face questioning in parliament.
