AANES gears up for elections in NE Syria
RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – An official in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) stated on Tuesday that, in preparation for holding elections in the region, the AANES is working on establishing institutions specialized in supervising and monitoring the election process.
The main institutions that the administration is working to establish in line with its recently released Social Contract (constitution) are the Supreme Electoral Commission and the Constitutional Court.
Fareed Ati, Co-chair of the Legislative Council of the AANES, said that they are drafting laws that would regulate the work of the commission and the Constitutional Court.
In a statement to North Press, Ati added that these laws are scheduled to be passed in March.
The court’s responsibility is to oversee the laws issued in AANES-held areas, ensuring their compatibility with the contract, he said.
Ati emphasized that all AANES institutions will undergo the elections, and that the AANES plans to initiate municipal elections by the end of April 2024.
