Damascus, May 20 : Syrian expatriates and refugees living outside their war-torn home country on Thursday started voting in a presidential election that the opposition has dismissed as a farce.
The election, due to take place at home on May 26, seems set to confirm incumbent Bashar al-Assad s stay in power, reports dpa news agency.
Syrians in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries, began casting ballots in Syrian embassies early Thursday, Syria s state news agency SANA reported.
In Lebanon, buses loaded with Syrians carrying pictures of al-Assad and waving the Syrian flag were seen heading towards the Syrian embassy on the outskirts of the capital Beirut for the one-day vote.
