Syria has published preliminary results of the vote for the first House following the historic overthrow of Bashar al -Assad last year, with electoral officials recognizing a low success rate for women and religious minorities.

In Sunday’s vote, about 6,000 members of the regional electoral bodies have chosen candidates from pre -deployed catalogs in the context of a procedure for the election almost of two -thirds of the new body of 210 seats. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sarah will later choose the rest of one third.

It is noted that after 14 years of civil war, transitional president Sarah dismantled the previous parliament and ratified a constitutional proclamation setting a five -year transitional period. In June, by presidential decree, he established a ten -member committee that would oversee the establishment of the local electoral institutions, which will choose the new Members.

In the days preceding the vote, analysts have expressed concern that its management was overly central and that the suspension of elections in off -government control meant that all communities were not fairly represented.

In the preliminary results, the Syrian electoral committee says they have been elected 119 Membersbut did not include the number of votes that everyone received.

Six Members are women, according to counting Reuters verified by electoral observers. Observers report that a total of 10 seats went to religious and ethnic minorities, including Kurds, Christians and two Alawites, of the heresy to which Assad belongs.

One of the observers of the election was described by the new parliament as an overwhelming consisting of Sunni Muslims and men.
