Syria’s 210‑member People’s Assembly has begun its formal session under a transitional system, with one‑third appointed by President Sharaa’s office and the remainder chosen by regional electoral bodies. Officials say the 30‑month term will push ahead with a new elections law while preparing for a broader vote. The process has drawn mixed reactions from rights groups about representation and parliamentary independence.
