Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad wins fourth term in office

CAIRO: Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad obtained a fourth term in office with 95.
1 percent of votes, head of parliament Hammouda Sabbagh declared in a live seminar on Thursday.
The voter turnout has been 78.
66 percent.
Assad’s triumph wasn’t in uncertainty, in a election in which authorities said 18 million were entitled to vote.
However, in the nation ravaged from the 10-year-old battle, areas controlled by rebels or even Kurdish-led troops didn’t even hold the vote.
At least eight million, largely homeless, reside in these regions in northeast and northwest Syria.
More than 5 thousand refugees _ mainly living in neighbouring nations _ have mostly prevented from casting their ballots.
U.
S.
and European officials also have contested the validity of this election, stating it violates UN resolutions set up to solve the battle, lacks any worldwide observation, and that is unrepresentative of Syrians.
Syria’s parliament speaker, Hammoud Sabbagh, declared the final results in Wednesday’s vote.
He said Assad gained 95.
1percent of those votes.
He had been confronting emblematic opposition from just two candidates_ a former minister and a former resistance figure.
Assad’s success comes as the nation remains ravaged by the battle.
Struggling has escalated but the war isn’t over.
An economic disaster is deteriorating at a state where over 80 percent of the populace lives under the poverty line and also the local money is in a free fall.
