Following last week's special elections, Bahrain's parliament now represents a larger variety of constituents with even more perspectives and political agendas than ever before, said newly elected MP Jamal Mohammed Abdulla.
Abdulla, who won the Capital Governorate's Constituency Eight seat during the second round of by-elections last Saturday, reflected on election results: "I am very positive about the new parliament, as members are more independent and not politically aligned to a group or society, therefore their views are not dictated by any outside influence."
The election process resulted in fair, transparent results, according to Abdulla, who represents constituents in Tashan and Bilad Al Qadeem.
"It was a very clean competition, with fair campaigns and my electoral team came out clean in the end," he said.
For Abdulla, several initiatives are at the top of his agenda, including improving the efficiency of the legislation process and helping "those at the lower levels of society to improve their quality of living," he said.
