In an unprecedented show of anger, political parties in Afghanistan on Friday set a ten-day deadline for a response from government to meet their demands on a change in the country’s election system and ensure that biometric system is used on the day of voting.  

The parties included the Council for the Protection and Stability in Afghanistan, Jamiat-e-Islami party of Afghanistan, the National Islamic Movement of Afghanistan, Hizb-e Wahdat Islami Mardum-e Afghanistan and some political movements including Mehwar-e-Mardum-e-Afghanistan. 

The political parties also levelled serious accusations on government leaders over what they described as deliberate attempts to deprive the people of the right to be informed about all aspects of free and credible elections.

In this episode of the program, host Sadaf Amiry discusses the topic with Tofan Waziri, political analyst, Mirza Mohammad Haqparast, deputy spokesman for IEC and Sayed Jawad Hussain, a spokesman for Jabah-e- Meli Afghanistan party.
