The Taliban has dissolved Afghanistan’s election commission, a panel that supervised pates during the former Western- backed administration, says a spokesperson for the government.
“ There’s no need for these commissions to live and operate,” spokesperson Bilal Karimi said on Saturday, pertaining to the Independent Election Commission (IEC) and the Independent Electoral Complaints Commission.
Still, the Islamic Emirate will revive these commissions, If we ever feel a need.”
The Taliban swept to power in August as a Western- backed government collapsed in the final stages of a chaotic military pullout by the United States.
Established in 2006, the IEC was commanded to administer and supervise all types of choices, including presidential, according to the commission’s website.
“ They’ve taken this decision in a hurry … and dissolving the commission would have huge consequences,” Aurangzeb, who headed the panel up until the fall of the former governance, told the AFP news agency.
Still, I’m 100 percent sure that Afghanistan’s problems will noway be answered as there wo n’t be any choices,” said Aurangzeb, “ If this structure doesn’t live.
Halim Fidai, a elderly politician in the former governance, said the decision to dissolve the electoral commission shows the Taliban “ does not believe in republic”.
“ They’re against all popular institutions. They get power through pellets and not ballots,” said Fidai, who was governor of four businesses over the once 20 times.
Before the Taliban preemption, several electoral commission officers were killed by fortified groups.
Karimi said the authorities had also dissolved two government departments this week – the ministry of peace, and the ministry of administrative affairs.
The Taliban has formerly shut down the former administration’s ministry of women’s affairs and replaced it with the ministry for the creation of virtue and forestallment of vice.
That ministry earned notoriety during the Taliban’s first stint in power in the 1990s for roughly administering religious doctrine.
The Taliban government is pressing the transnational community to restore billions of bones in suspended aid and have pledged a more moderate rule this time around.
