Syria holds legislative elections in Kurdish-majority northeast
Syria conducted follow-up parliamentary elections on Sunday in the Kurdish-majority northeastern province of Hassakeh and the town of Kobani, areas reintegrated under government control after fighting in January. The elections fill the remaining 11 seats in Syria's first parliament following the ouster of Bashar Assad. The new electoral system under interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa is described as not fully democratic, relying on electoral colleges rather than direct popular vote.
