Early general elections were held in Kuwait on 2 February 2012,[1] the country's second general election in a three-year period. The election's turnout rate was 59%.[1] However, in June 2012 the Constitutional Court declared the elections invalid and reinstated the former parliament. The court said the dissolution of Parliament in December 2011 by Emir Sabah Al-Sabah was unconstitutional.[2] In response, opposition MPs resigned from parliament and demanded a full parliamentary system.[3]
After the dissolution of parliament, a new election was set for December 2012.
