KUWAIT CITY – Opposition lawmakers maintained a majority in Kuwait’s parliament, results showed Friday, after the Gulf state’s third parliamentary vote in as many years held just months into the new emir’s reign.
Opposition candidates won 29 seats in the 50-member assembly, according to results carried by the official KUNA news agency, matching the outcome of last year’s election.
The make-up of the new parliament is very similar to the outgoing one, with all but 11 lawmakers retaining their seats, AFP reported.
