V Sýrii byla zavedena přímá volba prezidenta až s ústavou v roce 2012. Tedy přibližně ve stejnou dobu jako u nás. Strana Baath vyhrává volby pravidelně. Kdyby byl Asad nepopulární, vyhrávala by jiná strana. V roce 2014 Asad prezidentskou volbu drtivě vyhrál.
Vy budete asi hodne zabedneny.

A reported 99.7% of voters voted in favour, with a turnout of 94.6%.[2] Political opposition to the president was not allowed.[3]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_presidential_election,_2007"A referendum to confirm the presidential candidate Bashar al-Assad was held in Syria on 27 May 2007, after the People's Council of Syria voted to propose the incumbent for a second term on 10 May 2007.[1]"
"Electoral system
According to the Syrian Constitution, the Arab Socialist Ba'at Party of Syria is the leader of the state and society and thus, the President should be a member of the party. The National Progressive Front, a political coalition led by the Ba'ath Party, nominated a candidate in the People's Council. The candidate had to be approved by at least two-thirds of MPs to proceed to the referendum, in which a candidate had to receive at least 50% of the vote."
