Karzai Approves Special Court to End Electoral Tensions
2010-12-27
[Tolo News] Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai Sunday approved Supreme Court's proposal to form a special court to resolve parliamentary election disputes.

Independent Election Commission (IEC) has urged Supreme Court to make decisions about electoral cases based on Afghan laws.

A top official in the Electoral Complaints Commission said if Supreme Court finds crime-related moves in electoral cases, it would be welcomed.

IEC sees investigation of justice organisations into parliamentary elections as an interference.

"In terms of laws enforced by the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Afghanistan, no organisations have the authority to meddle in electoral affairs," said IEC front man, Tabesh Frogh. "We expect the Supreme Court to make its decisions based on law."

Some institutions want to make their own interpretations of law, said the front man for Electoral Complaints Commission.

"If any institution wants to make its own interpretation of law, while the election laws are quite clear and understandable, this is no longer a concern of electoral commissions, but rather of government, Lower House and judiciary system," Ahmad Zia Rafat, ECC's Spokesperson, told a TOLOnews news hound.

ECC said it has fulfilled its duties based on laws and warned that it will not surrender to anyone breaking Afghan laws.
