Predictions
- Emir’s smooth appointment of new crown prince will allow him to focus on upcoming elections in an effort to secure more compliant legislature
- Royal family will look to make concessions to public opinion pre-elections, including further support for Kuwaitisation and anti-graft efforts
- Next succession process will likely be significantly more contentious as power transfers to new generation of princes
