KUWAIT CITY ? Early results from Kuwait's parliamentary elections suggest strong gains by opposition groups including hard-line Islamists favoring stricter social codes in the Western-allied Gulf nation.
The final figures are expected later Friday. But partial returns give a strong edge to anti-government factions, which also include liberals inspired by the Arab Spring.
Some analysts predict opposition groups could take more than 30 seats in the 50-member parliament.
The incomplete results from Thursday's voting also point to lower representation of women. Just one woman candidate appeared headed for victory. Four women were in the last parliament.
Kuwait's ruling family controls all main ministries, but the parliament has the power to sway policies.
