CAIRO — Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa was named president for a transitional period, the Syrian state news agency (SANA) reported on Wednesday, citing commander Hassan Abdel Ghani.
Sharaa was also authorized to form a temporary legislative council for the transitional phase which will carry out its task until a new constitution is adopted, SANA reported, citing Abdel Ghani. The announcements emerged during a meeting in Damascus attended by commanders of armed groups that fought alongside Sharaa's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham to oust Bashar al-Assad from power.
The new government also announced the dissolution of the Baath Party, which had been in power for over 60 years, and of all the armed groups that had led the offensive against Bashar al-Assad, as well as the dissolution of the former government's army.
"All armed groups, political and civilian bodies claiming to be part of the revolution have been dissolved, and are to be integrated into state institutions," a statement from Abdel Ghani reads. He also announced "the dissolution of the army of the deposed regime," with the intention to "rebuilding the Syrian army."
