Interim Syrian president to delay parliamentary elections

Syria’s President for the transitional period Ahmed al-Sharaa intends to postpone elections to the People's Council (unicameral parliament) over the situation in the country, APA reports citing Al Arabiya TV channel.

Al Arabiya said that al-Sharaa has already postponed the approval of the charter of the People's Council and is expected "to postpone the parliamentary elections scheduled for September 15-20."

The sources said that these steps are related to "the events taking place in the Suwayda area southeast of Damascus, as well as disagreements with the [Kurdish coalition] Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which controls a significant territory in northeastern Syria."
