Holding elections in #Syria could take up to four years, Syria’s de facto leader Ahmed Al-Sharaa said in remarks to be broadcast on Sunday, the first time he has commented on a possible electoral timetable since Bashar al-Assad was ousted this month.
Drafting a new constitution could take up to three years, Sharaa said in written excerpts from the interview with the Saudi state-owned broadcaster Al Arabiya, due to be transmitted later on Sunday. He also said it would take about a year for Syrians to see drastic changes.
Sharaa said Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham, formerly known as the Nusra Front, would be dissolved at a national dialogue conference.
