A local media outlet reported anti-election protests in southern Sweida province.
DAMASCUS – Syrians in government-held areas were voting Monday in their fourth parliamentary election since civil war erupted in 2011, a poll expected to keep President Bashar al-Assad's ruling Baath party in power.
The Baath party -- in power since 1963 -- and its secular left-wing and Arab nationalist allies are running virtually unopposed, with independents the only alternative. "We have to take responsibility for electing good people and not repeating the mistakes of the past in voting for old names who can't change anything," said health ministry employee Bodoor Abu Ghazaleh, 49, voting in Damascus.
"There is no place for this ruling gang in Syrians' present and future. Enough, leave," another read. With help from key allies Iran and Russia, Damascus has regained control of much of the territory it lost early in Syria's war, which began with the repression of anti-government protests. Syrians in areas held by Ankara-backed rebels, as well as in the Kurdish-controlled northeast and the jihadist-run Idlib bastion in the northwest, are effectively disenfranchised.
