Two women were appointed to complete the legislative body
Qatar’s Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani appointed the remaining 15 Shura Council members on Thursday under Amiri Decision No. 56 of 2021, completing the country’s legislative body. The decision will be effective once it is gazetted.
The amir also issued Decree No. (48) of 2021, inviting the Shura Council to hold its first ordinary session on 26 October.
According to the list released by the Qatar News Agency [QNA], the final Shura Council will include two women.
The decision was made almost two weeks after eligible citizens voted in 30 members of the Shura Council in the country’s first-ever judicial body.
The Shura Council, consisting of 45 members, has now been concluded. Thirty were elected, and 15 now appointed. Two hundred thirty-three candidates across 30 districts ran in which there was a high voter turnout (63.5%).
