The call for a transitional governing body reflects a significant shift in the political landscape of Syria after years of conflict.
The establishment of a new constitution is crucial for the legitimacy of future elections and the overall governance of Syria post-Assad.
If the transitional period is successfully implemented, it could lead to a more stable and democratic Syria.
The international community's response to the coalition's plans will be pivotal in shaping Syria's future political dynamics.
The Syrian National Coalition has announced plans for a transitional governing body following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime. The coalition's head, Hadi al-Bahra, emphasized the need for an 18-month transitional period to create a conducive environment for free elections. He called for a new constitution to be drafted within six months, which will determine the future political system of Syria, whether parliamentary, presidential, or mixed. The coalition aims to include all national forces in this process to ensure a democratic and pluralistic Syria.
In a statement, the Syrian National Coalition celebrated the fall of Assad's regime, marking December 8 as a national holiday to honor the sacrifices of the Syrian people during their struggle for freedom. Al-Bahra expressed mixed feelings about Assad's departure, noting the need for accountability for the regime's past crimes.
