National Council elections were held in Kuwait on 10 June 1990.[1] The Council (only half of which was elected) was created by the Emir to try to appease protestors.[1] A total of 574 candidates contested the 50 seats, and although opposition called for a boycott, turnout was 62.3%.[2][3] Abdulaziz F. Al-Masaeed was elected as Chairman of the Council.[4]
