✍️ Syria is set to hold parliamentary elections for the first time since the fall of Bashar Assad, but the process is not fully democratic and lacks a popular vote.
👉 The elections will be held on Sunday for the first time since the fall of Bashar Assad. 👉 Most of the People's Assembly seats will be voted on by electoral colleges in each district. 👉 One-third of the seats will be directly appointed by interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa. 👉 The lack of a popular vote has drawn criticism, but some analysts argue that the government's reasons are legitimate. 👉 Women make up 14% of the 1,578 candidates who made it to the final lists. 👉 The exclusion of the Druze-majority Sweida province and Kurdish-controlled areas in the northeast has raised questions about representation of minority communities.
