Ali bin Majid bin Ali Hassan Al Majid Al-Naimi (Arabic: علي ماجد علي حسن الماجد النعيمي) is a Bahraini lawyer and politician. He was sworn into the Council of Representatives on December 12, 2018, representing the Seventh District of the Southern Governorate.[1]
Al-Naimi earned a master's degree from the Applied Science University in 2012[2] and followed it up with a doctorate from the Institute of Arab Research and Studies (IARS), a division of the Arab League's Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization. His dissertation for the latter was a comparative study of the state's responsibility for public servants' mistakes.[3]
Council of Representatives
In the 2018 Bahraini general election, Al-Naimi ran to represent the Seventh District in the Southern Governorate in the Council of Representatives, the nation's lower house of Parliament. He received 1,956 votes for 28.07% in the first round on November 24, necessitating a runoff on December 1, in which he defeated his opponent, Ahmed Al-Tamimi, with 3,267 votes for 52.81%.
Al-Naimi thus became the first person to win election as a deputy in the House of Representatives while his father, Majid bin Ali Al-Naimi, held a ministerial portfolio (Minister of Education).
