Mohammad Jihad al-Laham Ba'ath Party Hadiya Abbas Ba'ath Party Parliamentary elections were held in Syria to elect the People's Council on 13 April 2016,[1] electing members for the 2016–2020 parliamentary term.

Amidst nearly five years of civil war and ensuing negotiations for a ceasefire, following the Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War and Syrian Arab Army gains, President Bashar al-Assad called the election.

Parts of Aleppo, Homs, and Daraa governorates were also held by anti-government forces at the time of the election.

All 250 members of the People's Council were elected from 15 multi-member constituencies[2] in general tickets.

The Ba'ath Party-led National Progressive Front won 200 of the 250 seats, while the opposition inside and outside the country boycotted the elections; voter turnout was 57.56%.
