In November 2022, Bahrain witnessed new legislative elections, yet they were much like their predecessors. The ruling family selected who had the right to vote and who could run, excluding those they deemed undesirable from the familial electoral affair.

The statement issued by the Prime Minister, who said that Bahrain has become a leading destination for organizing sports events, at the end of the race was strange. It was a shocking statement that indicates a complete estrangement from reality.

Official statements of commendations usually issued from the United States, the United Kingdom and other European countries were nowhere to be seen, as was the media interaction that had been present after 2011, which included the balanced coverage of protests, the opposition's boycott, and the government's organization of elections.

How did Ali Al-Nuaimi win in the first round of elections, noting that he is one of the MPs who were the least present and active in parliament sessions? Al-Nuaimi did not accomplish anything during the past four years that would put him in a good light and did not even announce an electoral program this year.

Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society issued a statement in which it said that the "Bahraini regime conducted a sham election process amid political repression and flagrant human rights violations, while violations and harassment are expected to increase in the coming period."

Pro-regime candidates who recorded losses in the elections expressed disappointment, complaining publicly, one after another, that the authorities had openly directed votes to their rivals against the will of the people, denouncing the government's control over people's votes.

The Lebanese political researcher highlighted that the opposition consensus on boycotting is an important step that not only flusters the regime but also its "Western allies who protect it, and exposes the remaining false claims about support for democracy and the right of peoples to freedom."

Judge Responsible for the Supervisory Committee for the First constituency in the Capital Governorate played an apparently non-existent role for 12 hours before she was surprised to learn that she was left in the dark.

Despite the government's tricks to increase the turnout percentage in the elections, it was forced to falsify the numbers after being surprised by the extent of Bahrainis' unwillingness to participate.

Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi, deputy Secretary-General of Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, the largest opposition group, pointed out that the participation rate in the elections did not exceed 35%, despite the official coercion and intimidation to force everyone to participate.

Protests were staged in Bahrain on Friday, on the eve of the sham elections, which are boycotted by the people of Bahrain. The demonstrators demanded that the sham elections be boycotted, seeing that they serve the political trajectory of the ruling class.

Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Ahmed Qassim urged the people to boycott the parliamentary and municipal elections, saying in a video speech broadcast by Lualua Channel, that "participation in these elections is approval of perpetuating the awful situation about which everyone is now complaining.

Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi said that the regime has plunged Bahrain into unfair living conditions that have exhausted the people. There is no way out of them except through a serious political plan, not empty promises decorated by the media.

Even with laws to root out dissent and delete tens of thousands of voters' lists, Bahraini authorities interfere with voters by directing them to vote for specific candidates.

Bahrain's parliamentary elections are being held in an environment of political repression following a decade in which the authorities have infringed upon human rights, curtailed civil society, banned political opposition parties and shuttered independent media, Amnesty said.

Al-Wefaq Deputy Secretary-General confirmed that the Bahraini opposition forces, as a whole, abroad, at home and behind bars, announced boycotting the parliamentary elections, because of the dictatorship of the regime and marginalization of the people.

Salam for Democracy and Human Rights said it had monitored the deletion of some 94,000 voters from the voters' lists, noting that Bahrain's legislative elections lack transparency.

The Royal Decree issued on October 23, 2022, which amended the internal regulations of the House of Representatives and added thereto, may serve as an invitation to Bahrainis, both pro-opposition or loyalist alike, to reflect on the future of the political process that has existed in Bahrain since 2002.

Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society issued a booklet containing 139 reasons to boycott the sham parliamentary election held by the regime, amid a suffocating constitutional, political and human rights crisis.
