Syrian electors vote for first post-Assad parliament
Members of Syria’s Election College voted for new politicians who had a major inclusion test under the country’s Bashar al-Assad regime and under the leadership of existing Islamist officials.
The indirect voting is trying to reinforce the holding of the president Ahmed Al-Sharaa, who came to power after the rebellion attack in December, on a sectarian violence seizures that increase the insecurity between a nation and minorities that broke a 14-year war.
According to Mohammed Al-Ahmed, the President of the Supreme Election Committee of the Syrian Supreme Election Committee, the voting paper with preliminary results at 6000 combined voters regional election colleges is expected on Monday on Monday.
The vote on Sunday will determine about two -thirds of the parliament’s 210 chair, but the body will not be officially established until the third of Sharaa, a former al -Qaeda fighter.
“After the preliminary results have been announced, we will present a report to the President to start choosing one third. We will also open an opportunity for the candidates to make any objection.” He said.
Authorities say that they have applied to an indirect system instead of universal voting rights due to the lack of reliable population data that kill hundreds of thousands of Syrians and displaced millions of people.
Şeraa, while visiting the main voting station in Damascus, “There are many problems we need to move forward in Syria, and so we have done our best to reach the shortest possible opportunity to fill this gap as soon as possible.” He said.
A committee appointed by Sharaa approved 1570 candidates who exhibited their platforms in seminars and discussions this week. However, Reuters journalists said that public elections, posters or advertising boards in big cities.
Sanaa Al-Ali, the resident of Damascus, doubted that the vote would lead to a maritime change in Syria.
“I have no hope for anything,” Reuters said. “I don’t feel something new to move us forward, so the next days will be better than the past.”
In Aleppo, the second city of Syria, Sameh Hindewi was more optimistic, but next time he wanted to see the direct elections.
“We hope that God willing to make a start to the elections of the People’s Assembly, which is willing, the Syrian people through the full participation of voting and candidacy.” He said.
By talking about security and political reasons, the authorities postponed the vote in three provinces held by minority groups – left 19 seats in Parliament until voting there.
Critics hit these moves, saying that a partial and indirect vote was managed in a very central and very central way.
Analysts say that Sharaa’s selection of 70 politicians will ultimately determine the effectiveness and legitimacy of the new body: Choosing women or minority politicians can add diversity, but loyalists can help give law without a legal difficulty.
