Shias in Kuwait seek election boost-up
By: Sultan Ahmed
KUWAIT CITY: Kuwaiti Shias are looking to boost their strength in
parliament when the country goes to the ballot box on Saturday.
Under a new election system, the number of electoral districts has
been cut from 25 to five, increasing the number of voters in each
constituency five-fold and changing the geographic distribution of
voters.
A Shia candidate Abdulwahed Khalfan expected Shia candidates to
benefit from the new system.
In the past, two legislators were elected for each electoral district,
and Shias were a majority in only two constituencies.
Now each constituency will elect 10 deputies. Shias constitute half
the voters in one constituency and sizeable numbers in the remaining
constituencies.

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
