Ahmed Lari is a member of the Kuwaiti National Assembly, representing the first district.
Born in 1955, Lari studied Statistics and worked in the Municipal Council before being elected to the National Assembly in 2006.
[1] On February 19, 2008, the Popular Action Bloc expelled Lari and fellow Shiite MP Adnan Zahid Abdulsamad for taking part in a ceremony eulogizing Hezbollah's slain top commander, Imad Mughniyeh.
The ceremony's description of the fugitive Lebanese militant — killed in a February 12 car bombing in Syria — as a hero sparked public outrage in a country that holds him responsible for hijacking a Kuwait Airways flight and killing two of its Kuwaiti passengers 20 years prior.
[2] In November 2008, Waleed Al-Tabtabaie, Mohammed Al-Mutair, and Mohammed Hayef Al-Mutairi filed a request to grill Prime Minister Nasser Mohammed Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah for allowing prominent Iranian Shiite cleric Mohammad Baqir al-Fali to enter Kuwait despite a legal ban.
