Bahrain's Path on International Democracy Day
Today, Bahrain celebrated International Democracy Day, reaffirming its long-standing journey of political reforms and popular representation that began during the reign of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa in 1999. The reforms included constitutional principles ensuring the right to political participation for both women and men, the establishment of a bicameral parliament consisting of the House of Representatives and the Shura Council, as well as the promotion of press freedom and public discourse. Popular participation, parliamentary work, and freedom of opinion are considered fundamental pillars in building the modern state, with ongoing institutional development and societal engagement to strengthen democracy within the Kingdom.
