Oman assigns 11 women seats in Shura
Omani Minister of Interior Hamoud Al Busaidi announced that a royal directive has been issued to designate an additional 11 seats for women in the Omani Shura Council, which consists of 90 members. This aims to ensure greater female participation in the council through a quota-like system. The seats will be evenly distributed across the governorates, with each governorate receiving one seat, while candidates will continue to run according to the existing laws. A woman’s victory for the additional seat will be based on the highest percentage of votes within the constituency, and women still have the opportunity to compete for the regular seat if they win in the standard election.
