Male candidates were elected in all 30 of the seats up for election, despite 28 women initially being cleared to run in the polls.

Across the Gulf emirate, orderly queues of Qataris in national dress formed inside polling stations, mostly schools and sports halls, throughout the day.

Qataris cast their ballots at a polling station during country's first legislative elections at the Jawaan Bin Jassim School in Doha, Qatar.Former US ambassador to Qatar Susan Ziadeh said Qatar was "looking to see how it enhances its position on the world stage" which had led it to organise the polls ahead of 2022.

Beyond single-candidate town hall meetings, posters and ads, the country's electoral exercise was limited, with no change of government possible and political parties outlawed.
