"Syria's election is a historic moment in its transition"
"Ammar Kahf, executive director of the Omran Center for Strategic Studies, discusses the significance of Syria's first election since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024."
Syria held its first election since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024. The vote marks a historic turning point in Syria's political transition and carries symbolic weight for domestic legitimacy and international engagement. The election offers an opportunity to rebuild governance institutions, reconfigure power relations, and begin addressing wartime fragmentation and displacement. Successful administration of credible procedures could foster internal reconciliation and renewed diplomatic ties. Persistent challenges include security concerns, contested territories, refugee returns, and the need for transparent electoral processes. The outcome will shape immediate governance priorities and the longer-term trajectory of Syria's reconstruction and political settlement.
