Political parties are illegal in the Gulf state of Kuwait. They have not been legalized since independence in 1961. Nonetheless, the constitution itself does not explicitly prohibit parties.

Candidates for election (e.g., to the National Assembly) stand in a personal capacity. In practice, however, several political groups act as de facto parties:

The Islamic Constitutional Movement (Hadas)

The National Democratic Alliance

The National Islamic Alliance

The Islamic Salafi Alliance

The Popular Action Bloc

The Justice and Peace Alliance
