In Kuwait, Sunni and Shiite Islamists have reportedly won more than half of parliament's 50 seats.
Sunni Islamists gained about 40 per cent of parliamentary seats, four times more than they gained in the previous parliamentary elections in 2006. No women were elected in Saturday's vote, although 27 females ran as candidates. There are 22 new faces in the parliament, mostly from tribal areas. The election took place after the country's emir dissolved parliament in March.
