Qatar Board Elects Two women for First Time
Qatar Qataris have for the first time two women voted for the only directly elected body in the Gulf emirate, the Central Municipal Council. Sheikha Jufairi and Fatma Al-Kuwari, both won seats in the elections of the 29-member Council, which has advisory, but no legislative power. Elections Director General Majed Ibrahim al-Khulaifi confirmed that it was the first time in the emirate's history that two women had been elected. Jufairi is a political veteran compared to Qatar standards and has been on the Council since it was elected in 03. Kuwari, though, is one of 14 winners for the first time that will make up nearly half of the members the new Council.
