New administration abolishes 2012 Constitution, dissolves Baath Party, military, security agencies which were active during Assad era
Syria's military operations administration announced Wednesday the appointment of Ahmed al-Sharaa as transitional president, the repeal of the 2012 Constitution and the dissolution of the former regime's parliament, army and security agencies.
It came in landmark moves in the wake of the fall of the Baath regime in December.
Additionally, all military factions, as well as revolutionary political and civil bodies, will be disbanded and integrated into state institutions, said the announcement declaring the “Victory of the Revolution,” according to the official SANA news agency.
It also includes the dissolution of the Assad era-ruling Baath Party and the National Progressive Front, along with all affiliated organizations, institutions and committees, with a ban on their reformation under any name.
The administration announced the dissolution of the former regime's army and the rebuilding of the military on national principles.
It confirmed the annulment of the 2012 Constitution and the suspension of all emergency laws.
The administration also authorized al-Sharaa to establish a temporary legislative council to oversee governance until a permanent Constitution is passed and implemented.
The announcement was made during a special event at the People's Palace in Damascus, attended by military factions and representatives of the Syrian revolutionary forces, as reported by SANA.
Bashar Assad, Syria's leader for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia after anti-regime groups took control of Damascus on Dec. 8, ending the Baath Party's regime, which had been in power since 1963.
