Syria's new de facto leader, Ahmed al-Shara, has indicated that elections may take up to four years following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad.
In an interview, al-Shara emphasized the need for a well-crafted new constitution, which could take two to three years to draft properly.
He highlighted the importance of conducting a comprehensive population census to validate future elections, further extending the timeline.
Al-Shara’s administration is attempting to establish authority in Damascus, having appointed a caretaker prime minister until March 2025.
Although presenting a moderate front and focusing on rebuilding, questions remain about his administration's intentions and the inclusion of minority groups.
