President Ashraf Ghani on Saturday sacked Imam Mohammad Warimach, head of the Independent Election Commission’s (IEC) secretariat over ‘poor performance’, sources said. 

The sources confirmed that the IEC official was fired over ‘corruption and poor performance’.

Warimach was appointed as the head of the Independent Election Commission secretariat in March.

He was appointed to the post after he was interviewed by President Ghani, Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah and the second Vice President Mohammad Sarwar Danish.
