In its official twitter account, National Coalition of Syrian Opposition and Revolutionary Forces said: “The General Assembly of the Syrian National Coalition elects Abdurrahman Mustafa as president.”

Nazir al-Hakim was elected as secretary-general, while Dima Moussa, Abdel Basset Hamo and Bader Jamous as vice-presidents, it added.

Receiving 66 out of 75 votes, Mustafa replaced Riad Seif, who stepped down from his position in March due to health reasons.
