KABUL (Pajhwok): Election oversight institutes on Wednesday said the government’s decision to fire the election commission was ‘hasty’ and ‘politically motivated’ and was made under pressure from foreign and internal circles.
On Tuesday, President Ashraf Ghani decreed the dismissal of the electrion commissioners. The president said: “Heads and other members of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) and Independent Electoral Complaints Commission (IECC) are dismissed after amendments to the electoral law are ratified and approved.”
