Kuwait's opposition held its ground in the country's third parliamentary election in 2-1/2 years.
Official results, published by state news agency KUNA on Wednesday, showed 12 new members have joined the 50-seat National Assembly following Tuesday's vote.
One woman was elected, down from two in the previous parliament, KUNA said.
Up to 15 other members will be appointed by Kuwait's ruling emir to form a cabinet.
Dania Thafer, executive director of Gulf International Forum, said the new lawmakers have the potential to swing votes on certain issues.
"There is now what can be described as a parliamentary majority with reformist intentions," said Ahmad al-Deyain, of the Kuwait Progressive Movement (left).
He said the majority of the new parliament is made up of individual lawmakers, not a partisan majority with a particular programme, who would move away from an opposition position if the government proves reformist.
The 2022 vote was nullified in March and parliament was reinstated under its 2020 composition. In May, that parliament was itself again dissolved for fresh elections.
