'Karzai Cannot Cancel Parliamentary Election |
2010-12-14 |
![]() Soon a legal way will be found to bring an end to disputes about the parliamentary elections, said the front man for President Karzai, Wahid Omar. He said based on law, the President does not have the authority to intervene in parliamentary poll issues and to set a date for its inauguration or to open it. "The Afghanistan's Caped President hasn't got the authority to cancel results of the elections. Mr President will only act within the framework of law in Afghanistan," he said. While head of the Independent Election Commission remarked Attorney General's Office meddling will lead to an unavoidable crisis in the country, Mr Omar said disputes between the two organisations will not lead to any crisis. "What has happened in connection with elections in Afghanistan could happen in any democratic society and this should not be referred to as crisis," he said. The front man for President Karzai talks about a quick solution for the elections at a time as tensions between the Attorney General's Office and electoral commissions are already soaring. |
