SOC: Elections Assad Regime Intends to Hold are Illegitimate as it Lost Syrian’s Confidence

The Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC) said that the elections the Assad regime intends to hold in the areas under its control are illegitimate as they will be held by a terrorist regime that has long lost legitimacy and credibility.

In a press release issued on Friday, the SOC said that “these are no more than a farce that will be organized by security apparatuses and cannot be viewed with any seriousness.”

“Syria has not known true elections since the Assad regime seized power fifty years ago. The so-called elections that have taken place ever since are no more than a farce taking place under the grip of Assad’s military and security agencies.”

The SOC also said that “what changed today is that these so-called elections are taking place while half of the Syrian people have been displaced from their homes and while the country is under Russian-Iranian occupation. They will take place right under direct supervision of militias, mercenaries and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.”

“Attempts to rehabilitate this regime through this travesty of elections are doomed to fail as the whole world knows that such farce will only be met with ridicule by the Syrian people. These so-called elections will fail to give the terrorist regime any legitimacy as its survival depends on foreign occupation, repression, killing and crime.”

Moreover, the SOC stressed that “the Assad regime has not received any real popular support since it usurped power. The lists of candidates for these elections include individuals who have been targeted by the Western sanctions in response to their involvement in killing the Syrian people.”

“The only legitimate electoral process expected in Syria is the one stipulated by UN Security Council Resolution 2254 and the one which is based on the results of the political process leading to the formation of a Transitional Governing Body with full powers that will oversee fair, transparent elections of a parliament and a president representing the Syrian people and with the participation of all Syrians, and under the supervision of international institutions that guarantee transparent, fair and balanced elections.” (Source: SOC’s Media Department)

Preserving independence and national sovereignty and maintaining the Syrian people's unity within the same Syrian soil is one of the critical pillars of the Syrian Coalition. The Coalition aims to overthrow the Assad regime along with all its symbols and pillars. It also aims to dismantle its security apparatus and hold accountable those involved in crimes against Syrians. In addition, it seeks to achieve a transition to a pluralistic, democratic and civil Syria.
