KRSyria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa has finalized the appointment of the last members of the country's first post-Assad era parliament, marking a significant step in the nation's transition following the overthrow of Bashar Assad in late 2024. The new parliament, consisting of 210 members, includes individuals appointed by local committees and those directly named by the president. Two-thirds of the members were selected through a process initiated in October 2025, which has faced criticism for lacking democratic legitimacy. The appointed members represent diverse groups, including relatives of civil war martyrs, survivors of imprisonment and chemical attacks, academics, and dignitaries. Notable figures include women, former prisoners, activists, and ex-opposition leaders. However, some regions, particularly Kurdish-controlled areas and Druze-majority Sweida province, have either rejected the process or delayed participation due to ongoing tensions and conflicts.
