Progressive Democratic Tribune - Bahrain (Arabic: جمعية المنبر الديمقراطي التقدمي, jamia al-minbar ad-dimoqrati at-taqadummi, often referred to as al-Minbar) is a political outfit launched by the underground National Liberation Front - Bahrain in 2002. The group won two seats in the Bahraini parliament in the 2002 election. Ahmad Al-Thawadi was the founding chairman of al-Minbar. Effectively al-Minbar came to substitute the NLF.
[edit] 2006 elections
Ahead of the 2006 elections al-Minbar launched the electoral bloc 'National Unity'. The bloc had 9 candidates, out of whom 5 were members of al-Minbar. None of its candidates were elected.
