KABUL say that those opposing the electronic national identity cards (e-NICs) had no right to run for elections.

This comes after some lawmakers, including Abdul Latif Paddram, opposed the word Afghan in the e-NICs.

Munawar Shah Bahaduri, a public representative from Herat, said in Wednesday’s session: “Opponents of the process reserve no right under the constitution to contest the polls.”
