Syria's Assad casts his ballot in parliamentary poll

Description

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad casts his vote in Syria's fourth parliamentary election since the civil war erupted in 2011, a poll expected to keep his ruling Baath party in power. More than 1,500 people are standing for 250 seats in the largely rubber-stamp parliament, after some 7,400 candidates withdrew in recent days, according to Syria's Supreme Judicial Elections Committee.
