Reapprove the Law Governing IEC and ECC: Karzai

KABUL - President Karzai in an interaction with the Heads of Parliamentary committees asked the MPs to approve the laws governing the IEC and ECC.

This development happened at a time when President Karzai made some changes in the law and resent it for approval to the Parliament.

A number of MPs believe that the Presidency will use all possible ways for the changes made in the law to be accepted.

It is said that the President asked the lawmakers to decide over new adjustments and approve it at the earliest.

"I think that if the law is approved soon then many of our problems will be solved before upcoming elections," Member of Parliament, Sayed Hussain Alimi Balkhi said.

The transferring of the ECC's responsibilities to the Attorney General is one of the changes made by President Karzai.

"The Presidency is against ECC. The Parliament has approved the creation of this Commission. I think, if the commission is not established, the upcoming election will face lots of challenges and it might so happen that the President may even support his favorite nominee in the election," Member of Parliament, Ghulam Farooq Majroh said.

The laws governing the IEC and ECC were approved by the Afghanistan National Assembly. Many political parties consider the law to be of utmost importance for the upcoming election. But it is unclear as to when the law would be reapproved by the Parliament. (Tolo News)
