Article bookmarked Don t show me this message again✕ Syria Presidential Election (Copyright 2021 The Associated Press. All rights reserved) Syrians in government-held areas of the war-torn country headed to polling stations early Wednesday to vote in a presidential election set to give President Bashar Assad a fourth seven-year term. The vote is the second presidential election since the country s conflict began 10 years ago and has been dismissed as a sham by the opposition and Western countries. Two other candidates are running for the country s top post, which has been held by members of the Assad family for five decades. They are little known figures, Abdullah Salloum Abdullah and Mahmoud Ahmad Marie. But competition with Assad is largely seen as symbolic.
