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.
