TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Voters headed to polls as Syria held its third parliamentary elections since the start of the war on terror in 2011.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Prime Minister Imad Khamis, and Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem were among the top officials who cast their ballots in the parliamentary elections in Damascus on Sunday.
The vote was due to take place in April but had to be postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nearly 2,100 candidates are competing for 250 seats in the legislature.
