Kuwait conducted its first parliamentary election under the new Emir, Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah, who assumed power late last year, on Thursday. This marks the country's fourth election in as many years. The election comes after a period of political stagnation and unfulfilled government plans, with a focus on expediting economic reforms. Despite the change in leadership, early results indicate that opposition lawmakers have maintained a majority in parliament, suggesting that the political deadlock that has characterized Kuwaiti politics may persist.
