Syrians head to the polls to elect new parliament members in the midst of ongoing conflict.
With 8,151 polling stations open in government-held areas, 1,516 candidates are competing for 250 parliamentary seats. The ruling Baath party, led by President Bashar al-Assad, is anticipated to secure a majority.
The election process is closely monitored by the Supreme Judicial Elections Committee, ensuring transparency from nomination to the final results announcement.
Despite the ongoing foreign-backed conflict in Syria since 2011, government forces, supported by Iran and Russia, have successfully regained control of most regions. However, the northern parts remain under the control of militants and foreign occupation forces.
