2011 protests

In 2013, he was suspended in a climate of increased rapprochement between the opposition and the House of Khalifa.

[edit]Al Abassi entered politics by running in the 2018 Bahraini general election for the third constituency of the Muharraq Governorate in the national House of Representatives. He won 2,217 votes for 38.54% in the first round on November 24, necessitating a second round on December 1, in which he defeated Mohammed Al Alawi with 3,096 votes for 58.64%.
