The Kuwaiti head of state is called the Emir and is the country’s most powerful office. The Emirs of Kuwait are members of the Al Sabah dynasty.
Succession to the throne of Kuwait was limited to the descendants of Mubarak Al-Sabah. The position of Emir was also traditionally alternated between the two main branches of the Al Sabah family, the Al-Ahmed and Al-Salem branches. The reigning Emir must appoint an heir apparent within one year of his accession to the throne; the nominee for consideration as crown prince has to be a senior member of the Al Sabah family. The prime minister is appointed by the Emir.
