‘No reason’: Taliban over Afghanistan election election deadline | Taliban Stories

The Taliban government is removing the electoral body during the previous white supremacy.

The Taliban have dissolved Afghanistan’s electoral commission, which oversees elections in the former white supremacist regime, a government spokesman said.

“There is no need for these committees to exist and function,” spokesman Bilal Karimi said on Saturday, referring to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) and the Independent Electoral Complaints Commission.

“If we feel the need, the Islamic Emirate will revive these committees.”

The Taliban swept to power in August when white-backed government intervened in the final stages of the US military crackdown.

Established in 2006, the IEC was tasked with overseeing and overseeing all elections, including the president, according to the agency’s website.

“They have made the decision quickly … and suspending the commission could have serious consequences,” Aurangzeb, who led the group until the fall of the previous government, told AFP.

“Without this plan, I have every confidence that Afghanistan’s problems will not be solved because there will be no elections,” said Aurangzeb, who, like many Afghans, goes by the same name.

Halim Fidai, a senior politician in the previous government, said the decision to dissolve the election committee showed that the Taliban “did not believe in democracy”.

“He is against all democratic institutions. He is gaining power through the bullets and not the votes,” said Fidai, who was governor of four states for the past 20 years.

Prior to the Taliban’s capture, several election officials were assassinated by militants.

Karimi said government officials had also demolished two government departments this week – the ministry of peace, and the ministry of parliamentary affairs.

The Taliban have already shut down the former ministry of women’s affairs and replaced them with a ministry to promote good governance and prevent violence.

The ministry became more prominent when the Taliban came to power in the 1990s because of their strong religious convictions.

The Taliban government is forcing countries to repay billions of dollars suspended treatment and promises a middle ground this time.
