The Sunnis can, of course, vote for whoever they want. But how many votes, exactly, did Sharif Ali get in the election?

That's sort of a rhetorical question, actually, as I wouldn't expect you to respond. So I looked it up. From en.wikipedia.org

Constitutional Monarchy - Al-Sharif Ali bin Al-Hussein 13,740 0.16%

Apparently, about 17k votes shy of getting a single seat in the assembly.
