KABUL speaker’s slot between two leading candidates was deferred to Saturday after the first round produced no clear winner on Thursday.
There were 242 lawmakers present in the lower house today and each candidate was required 122 votes to become the chairman of the lower house, but none was able to meet the threshold 50 plus one votes.
Mir Rahman Rahmani, a lawmaker from Parwan province, Mirwais Yasini, a lawmaker from Nangarhar province, Kamal Naser Ausoli from Khost and Omar Nasir from Herat were candidates . . .
