All independents?

[edit]

The way the results are included is close to the way we do it for non partisan democracies in which all candidates are independents. Is that how it is here? What about the total of votes, and turnout? --Aréat (talk) 11:21, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Someone? --Aréat (talk) 22:43, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Aréat: This wasn't an entirely non-partisan affair, although parties are referred to as "political societies" in Bahrain. This article confirms that the Progressive Democratic Tribune participated in the elections. The IFES (not a source I usually trust) states that they won one seat in the first round and that Al Asalah won another. Number 57 23:57, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. It's quite difficult fishing for info on arabic elections. --Aréat (talk) 00:03, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Aréat: Appreciate it's not your first language, but there are some good English-language sources for many of the Gulf countries, specifically The National (UAE), Gulf Times (Qatar), Gulf News (UAE) and GDN Online (Bahrain - cited above). Number 57 00:07, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
