General elections were held in Bahrain on 25 November 2006 for the 40-seat Council of Representatives alongside municipal elections. There was a 72% turnout in the first round of polling. As expected by most observers Shi’a and Sunni Islamists dominated the poll winning a clean sweep in the first round of voting while liberal and ex-communist MPs lost all their seats.
