Preparations underway for new political party linked to Syria’s al-Sharaa
DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – Syrian sources revealed on Thursday that preparations are ongoing to establish a new political party affiliated with Syrian Transitional President Ahmad al-Sharaa, in anticipation of a forthcoming parties law outlined in the constitutional declaration.
According to the Lebanese website al-Modon, the initiative is being supervised by the General Secretariat for Political Affairs under Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani. Offices across various governorates are reportedly involved in selecting potential party members.
Sources said the process is being conducted within limited, discreet circles, with informal contacts made through intermediaries close to the transitional government to encourage public figures to join.
While the names of those tasked with recruiting members have been identified, they have not been publicly disclosed, though they are said to be individuals previously entrusted with official responsibilities.
The establishment of the party marks one of the first political moves by al-Sharaa’s administration to consolidate support ahead of new legal frameworks governing political organizations in Syria.
Since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad late last year, the transitional government led by President Ahmad al-Sharaa has sought to build a political framework in line with its constitutional declaration.
The forthcoming parties law is expected to regulate political activity and the formation of new parties, signaling a shift toward institutionalizing governance and formalizing political participation in post-Assad Syria.
Early reports indicate that the new party will draw support from prominent figures closely aligned with the transitional administration.
