Kuwait's Election Results: Opposition Maintains Majority with Limited Change.

Opposition lawmakers have won the majority of seats in Kuwait's parliament in the country's third election in three years. The new parliament is unlikely to break the political stalemate that has hampered fiscal reforms. Just one woman was elected out of the 207 candidates who competed for the 50 seats. The low voter turnout of 51% indicates the level of dissatisfaction Kuwaitis have with the current political process. The country's political gridlock has led to the decay of social services such as healthcare and education.
