Abstract EN

Objective: This research seeks to examine the impact of the political change - which emerged from the recent Kuwaiti parliamentary elections for the sixteenth legislative term held on December 5, 2020 - on the characteristics of the new legislative elite.

Methods: This study applied the approach of the political elite to identify the characteristics of the new legislative elite, and it relied on the primary and secondary resources, such as books, scientific research and field work represented in conducting personal interviews with a number of candidates and analysts involved in the latest elections.

Results: The results showed that the new legislative elite is a young, educated, reformist, and conservative elite that lacks female representation.

Conclusion: This new legislative elite adopts a reformist discourse, which will have the greatest impact on its future relationship with the executive authority.

This elite is also affected by the changes in the surrounding environment, especially the Corona pandemic and the waves of reform that arise in the region from time to time.
