State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert welcomed what she called “successful first round of voting in Bahrain's parliamentary and municipal elections.”

Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society declared in a press conference held by the Society's Deputy Secretary General, Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi, on Saturday (November 24, 2018), that the parliamentary and municipal elections in Bahrain have failed miserably.

The Public Prosecution referred on Wednesday (November 21, 2018) Al-Wefaq former MP Ali Al-Asheeri to trial over charge of “misusing mobile phone” on background of a tweet in which he announced boycotting elections.

Bahrainis head to the polls Saturday, but experts have questioned the value of a parliamentary election in which dissolved opposition groups have been banned from taking part.

Former Al-Wefaq MP Ali Al-Aswad compared in a series of tweets the regime's project to that of the opposition, explaining that the Bahraini authorities “seek to produce elections for a parliament that has lost popular legitimacy and without any legislative or regulatory tools. Meanwhile, the opposition democratic forces in Bahrain, despite all the violations practiced against them and arrests, talk about an inclusive political project summarized by the Manama Document.”

Bahrain's public prosecutor on Tuesday detained and charged a man for a tweet saying he would boycott elections this month, with a rights group identifying him as a former lawmaker.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said the life sentence against opposition leader Sheikh Ali Salman confirms the Bahraini regime's repressive nature.

Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society issued a statement rejecting normalization with Israel. The society issued a statement saying “Normalization with the Zionist entity is a great betrayal, and our people declare that there is no place for Netanyahu and the Zionists in Bahrain.”

Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society considered all the sacrifices and the targeting of its men, entity and cadres to be cheap compared to the interest of the nation and all the citizens.

Democrat candidate in the US elections whom Bahrain expelled in 2014, after meeting members of Al-Wefaq society, won in the elections.

Bahrain’s First High Court of Appeal upheld a 10-year prison term issued against a prominent Al-Wefaq Society Official and former MP Sheikh Hassan Isa.

The Bahraini Interior Minister accused on Friday (October 19, 2018) accounts managed by Iran of being behind the threats candidates of municipal and Parliamentary elections received.

The Bahraini Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society announced the launch of a slogan about boycotting the 2018 parliamentary and municipal elections entitled "Your Voice is More Valuable." This comes in line with the popular stance and the political vision of Al-Wefaq that consider the upcoming elections illegitimate and nominal.

Al-Wefaq former MP Ali Al-Aswad said that "participating in the elections in Bahrain doesn't mean political partnership".

The National Islamic Al-Wefaq Society mourned Sheikh Abdul-Hussein Al-Sitri, one of Bahrain's leading religious scholars, who passed away on Sunday.

Al-Wefaq Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi officially announced boycotting the upcoming Parliamentary and municipal elections.

The deputy secretary-general of Al-Wefaq Society, Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi, said that the decision to impose the value added tax (VAT) is considered a “heinous crime”.

Bahrain's main opposition group called Tuesday for a boycott of November parliamentary elections after its members were banned from running.

The Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society described the day in which the Parliament approved the value added tax (VAT) as a “black day in the history of Bahrain”

The National Islamic Al-Wefaq Society organized on Tuesday (October 9, 2018) its first press conference since a final ruling was issued by the policitized Bahraini judiciary to dissolve it.
