Nseej | #AJE : Polls present opportunity for #Shia majority to air grievances against Sunnis who have ruled the #Gulf kingdom since 1783.

Voters in #Bahrain have cast their ballots in elections that give the Gulf nation's Shia majority an opportunity to air their differences with the Sunni dynasty that maintains a centuries-old grip on power.
Official figures were not yet available on voter turnout. But first results were expected during Saturday night.
Some 292 observers from Bahraini non-governmental organisations are monitoring the elections, which foreign observers were not allowed to oversee.
