Syria's President Assad wins fourth term in office with 95.1% of votes
2021-05-28
[JPost] The other 4.9% have been relocated to Deir E-Zour
Head of parliament Hammouda Sabbagh announced the result in a news conference on Thursday, saying voter turn out was at around 104% 78%.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad won a fourth term in office with 95.1% of the votes in an election that will extend his rule over a country ruined by war but which opponents and the West say was marked by fraud.

Assad's government says the election on Wednesday shows Syria is functioning normally despite the decade-old conflict, which has killed hundreds of thousands of people and driven 11 million people - about half the population - from their homes.
