"Last week’s ruling by the Constitution Court of ordering dissolution of the parliament and calling for a new election provides a fresh opportunity for addressing economic woes in Kuwait. It remains to be seen if the new legislative body would develop a functioning relationship with the government to tackle some serious economic issues facing the nation.
The election is due to take place on July 25, during the fasting month of Ramadan. The fasting month could start on 9 July. Accordingly, real campaigning should take place during evening hours after breaking the fast.
Interestingly enough, the election date would most likely convince some Kuwaiti families delay the customary summer holidays to after Eid. In retrospect, Iraq invaded Kuwait during the summer of 1990 when a large number of Kuwaiti nationals were vacationing abroad."
