VOTING is under way in Kuwait to pick a new parliament that is certain to side with the ruling establishment after a widespread election boycott by opposition groups.
The voting on Saturday is likely to expose deep divisions in the strategic Gulf nation, a major oil producer and hub for US ground forces.
Opposition groups, ranging from hardline Islamists to Western-leaning liberals, have bitterly denounced a decree in October by Kuwait's emir to change the balloting system.
They claim it will make it easier for officials to influence the outcome.
Kuwait has the Gulf's most politically powerful parliament, which was in the hands of Islamists and their allies earlier this year.
Opposition groups now may increasingly turn to street protests after staying on the sidelines in the election.
