Syria Presidential Elections: While The Regime Calls Them The Mother Of All Campaigns And Falsely Presents Them As Democratic, The Political Opposition Calls Them A Farce And The Armed Opposition Threatens To Target Voters May 25, 2021 | By O. Peri Introduction Syria s presidential elections, held every seven years, will take place on May 26, 2021.[1] The upcoming elections are based on the constitution passed by the Syrian regime in 2012, which is the first Syrian constitution to allow presidential elections with multiple candidates.[2] Two candidates are running against the incumbent president Bashar Al-Assad. One is Abdullah Salloum Abdullah, a former minister, member of the Socialist Unionist Party, which holds only two seats in the present parliament. This party is a constituent of the Progressive National Front, a parliamentary bloc led by the ruling Ba th Party, which has announced its support for Assad in the present elections. The other candidate is Mahmoud Ahmed Merei, member of the Syrian Democratic Front, which operates as a regime-approved opposition group. The participation of Assad s two rivals is widely seen, both inside and outside Syria, as a farce and a mere show of democracy, since their chances of winning are miniscule.
Syrian presidential elections: Spectacle and ‘electoral farce’ May 5, 2021 A picture of Bashar al-Assad affixed to a window in the al-Hamidiyah Market of Old Damascus, 21/04/2021 (AFP) AMMAN Out of 51 applications for candidacy in Syria’s presidential elections, the Constitutional Court announced on May 3 the acceptance of just three candidates to run in the elections slated for May 20 for citizens outside Syria and May 26 for citizens inside Syria. While Syrians living in areas outside of regime control, including some four million people in the last opposition areas in the country’s northwest, are deprived of casting their votes in “the electoral farce,” as Syrians on social media have termed it, millions of others may also be barred under legal and constitutional pretexts, or due to security and logistical obstacles preventing them from participating.
To no surprise, Bashar Assad runs for reelection in Syria Syria s upcoming election has been criticized as a theatrical farce. Though there are five candidates in addition to the incumbent, international governments and the UN see no sign of a free and fair election. 55-year-old Bashar al-Assad announced on Wednesday that he will run for another term As of Wednesday, three days have passed since Hammouda Sabbagh, the speaker of Syria s parliament, announced the date of the presidential election as May 26. After the official call, two men, Abdullah Salloum Abdullah and Mohammad Firas Yasin Rajjouh, as well as Faten Ali Nahar, a 50-year-old lawyer and the first female presidential candidate in Syria s history, joined the list of candidates. On Wednesday, Mohanad Nadim Shaaban and Mohammad Muwaffaq Sawwan announced their runs, as did the country s current president: Bashar al-Assad.
