Bahrain’s Al-Wefaq Re-elects Sheikh Salman as President
Local Editor
Bahrain's main opposition movement al-Wefaq on Saturday handed its leader a new four-year stint at the helm of the group, whose activities have been banned in the kingdom.
Sheikh Ali Salman, 49, was re-elected at al-Wefaq's general congress on Friday night, in a meeting held to comply with a law on associations that led to the three-month ban.
In July, the justice ministry sued al-Wefaq demanding it rectify its "illegal status following the annulment of four general assemblies for lack of a quorum and the non-commitment to the public and transparency requirements for holding them."
The Manama administrative court slapped al-Wefaq with the ban on October 28 and gave it three months to regularize its status and hold an assembly to elect its leaders.
The ruling came after al-Wefaq announced it was boycotting a parliamentary election in November.
Al-Wefaq, which withdrew its lawmakers from parliament in protest, denounced the vote as a "farce."
It has called for an elected prime minister who is independent from the ruling royal family.
