Syria completes People's Assembly elections
The Syrian authorities announced the appointment of 70 deputies by President Ahmad al-Shar’a to the People's Assembly during the transitional period. This paves the way for the first session of the council to be held next week, more than eight months after its formation began. The council, which comprises 210 members, has limited powers within a presidential system of governance. The appointment process has seen an increase in the number of women, bringing the total to 15, and seats have been allocated for religious and ethnic minorities, including Kurds, Christians, and Alawites. This move comes as part of al-Shar’a’s attempt to address the imbalance in political representation in Syria, following appointments across various regions, with the exception of the Sweida governorate, which is controlled by the Druze.
