Makhar Al-Deera Rejoins Bahrain Scene
The article discusses the reintroduction of the Mukhtar system in Bahrain within a new institutional legal framework, following periods of suspension. One or more Mukhtars are appointed in each province for a term of four years, renewable. Candidates must be Bahraini adults, at least 40 years old, literate, and have a good reputation. Historically, the Mukhtar system was first implemented in 1936, where Mukhtars served as trusted mediators within the community, helping resolve local issues and liaising with official authorities. Official entities and the community emphasize the importance of having representatives close to the residents to maintain social connection, while also developing their roles to operate within the broader state institutions. The goal is to enhance social services and facilitate the handling of local matters through an institutional, modernized approach.
