Hi everyone, im very proud that kuwait is taking a step forward. History has been made in Kuwait with not only 1 female candidate, but 4. All four women are very well educated with PHDs and i really have faith that they will help kuwait evolve for the best. good luck to the 50 candidates and we hope that this time they do change kuwait for the best.
