The National Democratic Alliance ( Arabic: التحالف الوطني الديمقراطي, romanized: Al-Tehalef Al-Watani Al-Demokrati) is a liberal political bloc in Kuwait.
History and profile
Of the fifty elected members of Kuwait National Assembly in 2008, two belong to the NDA: Mohammed Al-Abduljader and Mohammed Al-Sager. [1] MP Ali Al-Rashid originally affiliated with the NDA, but left the party on 23 November 2008. [2] The party had around six MPs in the 50-seat Assembly in 2009. [3]
The NDA encourages the empowerment of women and nationalism instead of groupings based on sect or social class. [4] As of 2010, it was mostly supported by young Kuwaitis. [4]
The NDA has also launched the TV channel Nabeeha Tahalof and publishes the daily newspaper Al-Jarida.
