This so called coalation do not even care about Syrians or demcoracy all they care about is getting the seats and power, they are killing Syrians by refusing elections and democracy and dialouge, they just want the power, in addition every member have a different master, therefore different agendas, and that's why they are arguing and defecting...
AT least 12 key members of Syria's National Coalition say they have suspended their membership in the main opposition body, a day after the election of the first rebel prime minister.
The group of 12 included coalition deputy Soheir Atassi and spokesman Walid al-Bunni.
Their decision came amid bitter disagreement over the election of Ghassan al-Hitto as the first opposition premier.
Other members who said they had "frozen" their membership in the coalition included Kamal Labwani, Marwan Hajj Rifai, Yehia al-Kurdi and Ahmad al-Assi Jarba, with sources saying more such announcements were expected.
Though the dissenting members said they had different reasons for their decisions, some expressed their opposition to Hitto's election, and the process by which he was chosen.
"The coalition is a non-elected body, and as such it does not have a right to choose a prime minister on a majority vote. There should have been consensus," Labwani said.
Hitto was elected on Tuesday by 35 of approximately 50 coalition members present in Istanbul, after some 14 hours of consultation.
Some members who opposed his election walked out before the vote.
"We coalition members weren't elected to represent the Syrians. So the only person Hitto represents is the 35 coalition members who voted for him. This government is a gift to (President) Bashar al-Assad's regime," Labwani said.
"The key issue is the timing and way in which the voting took place. The coalition pushed for a majority in a group that was not elected," Bunni said.
"Each of us had different reasons for freezing our membership. We will release a statement that represents us all in the coming days," Bunni added.
Hitto, a former IT executive who has lived in the United States for decades, is expected to name a technocratic government that will move inside Syria, attempting to bring rule of law and basic services to large swathes of rebel-held territory.
