After years of conflict and unrest, Syria is set to embark on a new chapter, with the government announcing plans for parliamentary elections this September. The country’s election management committee revealed that the elections will take place within the coming month, marking a significant step toward a democratic future following the fall of former leader Bashar al-Assad.
This announcement has sparked hope for change, as interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa is expected to directly appoint one-third of the parliamentary seats. The remaining seats will be filled through direct voting by the people. Mohammad Taha Al-Ahmad, head of the election commission, stated that the elections are likely to happen between September 15 and 20.
Under the interim constitution, electoral colleges comprising voters from each province will be formed to elect representatives for specific seats. Additionally, plans are underway to establish a ‘People’s Committee’ tasked with drafting a new permanent constitution, aiming to facilitate broader participation and ensure lasting democratic reforms.
This move signals a potential turning point, where Syria may begin to rebuild its political landscape under new leadership and constitutional frameworks, offering a glimmer of hope for stability and peace in the region.
