Al-Wafaq official: Parliamentary elections offer nothing new to our people

The Deputy Secretary-General of Bahrain’s Al-Wafaq, Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi has dismissed the country’s upcoming legislative elections as more of the same from the regime in Manama.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Deputy Secretary-General of Bahrain’s Al-Wafaq, Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi has dismissed the country’s upcoming legislative elections as more of the same from the regime in Manama.

“These elections do not offer anything new to our people,” the opposition figure wrote in a Twitter post on Wednesday.

Sheikh Al-Daihi also noted that there has been no real change in the situation in Bahrain and that the kingdom is still lacking a “political project”.

Earlier in the week, Manama announced that it would hold parliamentary elections on November 24.

Al-Wefaq and other Bahraini opposition groups are unable to compete in the elections following the introduction of legislation that banned them from holding parliamentary seats.
