The Grand Coalition of Afghanistan on Monday asked the National Unity Government and the Independent Election Commission (IEC) to disclose details around the plan for the biometric system that will be used on election day. 

The coalition’s request comes after the IEC last week announced it will use biometrics for elections. This comes after the IEC said previously there was no time to roll out the system before elections. 

Members of the coalition said they want the IEC and government to provide information about the biometric system and convince them that the system is appropriate for the elections.

In this episode host Karim Amini discusses the topic with the following guests: 

Mawlana Farid, political analyst 
Zabi Sadat, IEC’s deputy spokesman 
Noor Rahman Akhlaqi, a member of Jamiat-e-Islami party's leadership team
