The Assembly consisted of a mix of one-seat constituencies (in which the top two most voted-for candidates were put forward for selection) and two-seat constituencies (in which the four candidates with the most votes were selected from). Al-Ghamari was one of the top four candidates in Muscat and was selected alongside al-Mawali from Seeb. Both women were re-elected in 1997. Al-Ghamari was later appointed to the Council of State by Qaboos.
