Four Kuwaiti women won last night's parliamentary elections. Aseel Al-Awadhi, Rola Dashti, Ma'asouma Mubarak and Salwa Al-Jassar. Congratulations Kuwait, we can almost hear the wheel of cultural change turning slowly.

Even Thikra Al-Rashidi, a woman MP candidate running in conservative tribal district, had extremely good results and was in at 15th place. That is progress.

For that and more, I am ecstatic.

ماكان الا من بعد ما اقتنع الشعب ان القول وراه فعل

والنتيجة واظحة

مبروك علينا كلنا
والفال لصاحبة الانجاز ذكرى لانها كانت بمكان صعب بين صعوبات

لكنها بتكون فوق في المرة القادمة ان شاء الله
