New, young faces grace parliament
Like the country as a whole, Bahrain’s parliament and politicians are also getting more youthful. People of Bahrain, in the recently concluded election, voted into office, for the first time in the history of the Kingdom, more young minds than ever, a welcome change in the Kingdom’s parliamentary work.
The elections to the 40 member council which wrapped up last week contributed in creating an assembly with 25 per cent members being under the age of 40, especially with the arrival of 10 young deputies.
“This was the natural result of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s support,” Ibrahim Al-Nafi, a newly appointed deputy told the Tribune.
