Title should say since 2016, as none were elected in 2020.
The only female representative, Safa Al Hashem lost her seat in 2020 and from the 29 female candidates, none were elected. Leaving the parliament without a female MP for the first time since 2012.
This year, of the 305 candidates, only 22 were women and it looks like 2 were elected, Alia al-Khaled and former Minister Jenan Boushehri.
It doesn't look very representative but progress is progress.
