Ahmed al-Sharaa has been named as the president for a transitional period in Syria following the removal of President Bashar al-Assad. He has been given the authority to form a temporary legislative council that will operate until a new constitution is adopted. Al-Sharaa leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which has emerged as the ruling entity in the region. The transition includes the dissolution of armed factions, creating a unified national army, and entails plans for a national conference and elections in the coming years.
Since Assad's removal, HTS has become the de facto ruling party and has set up an interim government largely composed of officials from the local government it previously ran in rebel-held Idlib province.
Al-Sharaa has pledged to embark on a political transition including a national conference, an inclusive government, and eventual elections, which he has said could take up to four years to hold.
The announcements emerged during a Damascus meeting of armed factions that fought alongside HTS in the offensive, attended by ministers from the HTS-installed interim government appointed in December.
Abdel Ghani... announced the dissolution of the armed factions in the country, which he said would be absorbed into state institutions.
