Syrian President appoints popular actress Rozina to People’s Assembly

Entering the political arena from the world of glamour is nothing new, but this time there has been a big surprise in the politics of war-torn Syria. The current President of Syria, Ahmad al-Shara, has nominated the extremely popular Middle Eastern actress Rozina Lazkani as a direct member of the country’s new national parliament or ‘People’s Assembly’.

This sensational information came to light in the world media after Syria’s Higher Electoral Committee released the final list of the country’s new parliament.

According to the Syrian constitution, the president has the special power to directly nominate 70 members of parliament.

The committee’s top official, Mohammed Taha al-Ahmad, said at a press conference in Damascus that these 70 people were chosen to diversify parliamentary work and include experienced people from different professions.

And the 36-year-old glamorous actress has made it to that special list.

A total of 15 women (21.4 per cent) including Rozina have been included among the 70 members nominated by the President to ensure the empowerment of women in the administration.

Rozina Lazkani is a well-known name in the Middle Eastern entertainment world. Born in the Syrian city of Hama, Rozina studied theater or drama.

She originally studied scenography at the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts and made her debut on the TV screen in 2013. After that, he never looked back. He won the hearts of the audience by acting in one superhit Syrian and Arab drama after another.

His performance in the Middle Eastern blockbuster and the globally acclaimed thriller series ‘Al-Hayba’ in particular took him to the top of fame.

Until now, the person who would memorize scripts on the shooting set and shoot in front of the camera will now speak for the people of the country in the Syrian legislature or parliament.

According to Middle Eastern political analysts, by bringing such a popular face from the entertainment world to parliament, President Ahmad al-Shara is trying to attract a large support from the youth society and cultural sphere.

However, there is now a lot of discussion across the Middle East about what this new innings of Rozina Lazkani from the world of glamour to the Syrian legislature will be like.
