However, due to a dispute with the government, the new council was never convened. Background Following two elections in 1938 and a dispute between Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and the elected Legislative Council, the sheikh dissolved the council in March 1939 and replaced it with a fully-appointed advisory council. However, the council ceased meeting in July 1940 after an investigation into the treasury's accounts.https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/4283478.pdf The 1938 Kuwait Legislative Council Kamal Osman Salih Middle Eastern Studies 1992 28 1 66–100 4283478 In 1954 a petition was circulated calling for an elected council.https://books.google.com/books?id=Gj3kEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA41 The Resilience of Parliamentary Politics in Kuwait: Rentierism, Ideology, and Mobilization Courtney Freer 2024 41–42 Oxford University Press 978-0-19-757036-4 Four years later Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salim Al-Sabah, who had been involved in the creation of the original Legislative Council, held elections for a new advisory council.
