However, Ibrahimi said that President Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdulllah yet to get the package.
Separately, Second Vice President Sarwar Danish said that the government has asked the IEC to set a timetable for holding four elections together, which he believes the commission has failed in this regard.
