With 210 seats, this body aims to usher in a fresh era of governance and justice, as Sharaa urged lawmakers to act responsibly. The assembly was formed through a mix of regional appointments and presidential selections, sparking debate over democratic legitimacy amid years of war. Unlike the Assad-era parliament, which was a rubber stamp, this one is tasked with drafting a new constitution and proposing laws — though its powers remain limited under a temporary framework. Sharaa, a former militant turned reformer, continues to push for inclusivity and elections when conditions allow. The speaker, Abdel Halim al-Awak, was elected with 99 votes, and the chamber includes 21 women — 15 appointed by Sharaa — with minority groups like Kurds, Christians, and Alawites also represented, though four seats remain vacant for now.
