The opposition vowed Sunday to press on with protests until a newly elected parliament is abolished and a disputed law scrapped, a day after Kuwait's opposition emerged as main victors of a largely-boycotted vote.

"We will continue with our national and peaceful protests under the umbrella of the constitution to bring the downfall of the new parliament," opposition leader and former MP Faisal al-Muslim told media outlets.

"We will use all peaceful and constitutional tools, including demonstrations and gatherings," said Muslim.

Organizers of three huge opposition demonstrations ahead of the election announced on their Twitter account Sunday a plan to organize a new rally but did not fix a date.

The opposition has no representative in the 50-seat parliament after it opted to boycott Saturday's polls to protest the government's unilateral amendment of Kuwait's key electoral law.

Under the previous law, a voter was able to choose a maximum of four candidates which was reduced to only one in the new system.

The opposition, which held 36 seats in a dissolved 2012 parliament, has described the move as unconstitutional and says it enables the government to manipulate elections.

"The majority of the Kuwaiti people sent a direct and transparent message to the emir ... rejecting the new measures adopted by the government and calling for the new assembly to be abolished," Muslim said.

On Sunday, Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, the crown prince and prime minister congratulated the newly-elected lawmakers.

Because of the massive boycott, opposition candidates won an unprecedented 17 seats, almost doubling their strength from nine seats in 2009. Seven more won seats in the polls last February that the courts nullified.

“The opposition will continue to refuse to "deal with the new parliament or the next government," as long as the controversial law stays and the new assembly is not dissolved,” Muslim stated.

OPEC member Kuwait has been rocked by a series of political crises which stalled development despite a huge wealth from oil. Saturday's vote was the second in 10 months and the fifth since mid-2006.

The cabinet is expected to resign on Monday to allow the formation of a new government following the polls.
