MCE Congratulates Bahrain on Election to UN Security Council

The Muslim Council of Elders, chaired by Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, extends its heartfelt congratulations to the Kingdom of Bahrain—led by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa—along with its government and noble people, on being elected as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the 2026–2027 term, having secured broad international support with over 186 votes.

The Council affirms that Bahrain’s election to the Security Council is a testament to its significant efforts in promoting global peace and advancing the values of dialogue, tolerance, coexistence, and peace. 

This selection comes at a time when the world is in dire need of voices of wisdom amidst escalating challenges, wars, and conflicts.

The Muslim Council of Elders expresses its strong confidence that Bahrain’s election as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council will help amplify the Arab and Islamic stance on key global issues, particularly the Palestinian cause, and will serve as a sincere voice for the Ummah in addressing the challenges of our time.
