The Kuwait court of appeals rejected on Sunday the appeals of a number of parliamentary elections candidates, confirming that Marzouq al-Hubaini, former MPs Marzouq al-Khalifa, Ahmad Moteh al-Azmi and Jaber al-Muhailbi will not run in the polls over violations during byelections.

In a post on the X platform addressed to the interior minister, al-Khalifa said: “We will continue to speak the truth against your unjust rulings at all legitimate platforms.”

“You will not intimidate us,” he vowed, accusing the minister of sowing strife between the Kuwaiti people.

The disqualifications brought to around 200 the number of candidates running in the April 4 National Assembly elections.

The Justice Ministry said 123 schools have been prepared as polling stations throughout the five electoral districts.

Sixteen schools have been set up as polling stations in the first district, 18 in the second, 22 in the third, 28 in the fourth and 34 in the fifth.
