KUWAIT: Prime Minister-designate HH Sheikh Ahmad Al-Nawaf Al-Sabah continued meetings on Wednesday with MPs over the structure of the government, as the two-week deadline for holding the new National Assembly's opening session is fast approaching. The premier received on Wednesday the two female MPs, Jenan Bushehri and Alia Al-Khaled. Bushehri said cooperation between the National Assembly and the government should be based on reforms and fighting corruption. Khaled said she urged the premier that a special commission for citizenship should be formed.

Meanwhile, nine candidates, including seven former MPs, who lost in the Sept 29 elections, filed petitions on Wednesday challenging the results of the elections and demanding recount of the votes. The court has already received several petitions challenging the outcome of the elections held after HH the Amir dissolved the previous Assembly. The court will look into all challenges against the elections after the deadline for accepting petitions. An Amiri decree has already postponed the opening session of the Assembly for one week until Oct 18.
