ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The Kurdish National Council in Syria (KNCS) in Syria elected Mohammed Ismail as its new president on Thursday, replacing Suleiman Oso.
Faysal Yusuf, the council’s spokesperson, announced that the election took place in Qamishli, emphasizing that Oso’s term was fixed and not subject to consecutive re-election.
Ismail’s election follows Oso’s six-month tenure, aligning with the KNCS’s leadership rotation policy.
The KNCS previously appointed Ni'mat Dawoodi as chairman in November 2023, succeeding Saud Mullah, who resigned in March of the same year.
The KNCS, formed in October 2011 in Erbil, Iraq, under the patronage of President Masoud Barzani, aims to unify various Kurdish political factions in Syria. The council advocates for Kurdish rights and represents Kurdish interests within the Syrian opposition. It comprises a coalition of parties and organizations working toward greater autonomy and recognition for Kurds in the region.
