Saad al-Abdullah al-Salim

Saad al-Abdullah al-Salim became Emir of Kuwait upon the death of his cousin, Emir Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah. His reign was the shortest in Kuwaiti history, lasting only nine days. He was the crown prince for decades before ascending.

The Kuwaiti National Assembly voted to depose Saad al-Abdullah al-Salim due to his poor health, which prevented him from performing his duties. He was the first Kuwaiti emir to be removed by parliamentary action. The decision was based on a medical report.
