A number of political parties on Sunday said that the government should consult with them before taking any reformative actions against the Independent Election Commission (IEC).

Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah who has registered himself as a presidential candidate for July elections, last month, had stressed that the government would bring reforms in the IEC.

However, some political parties warned that without their consultations they would not accept any kind of reforms in IEC.

“We have not been consulted that which areas need to be reformed,” said Asadullah Sa’adati, who is a member of Wahdat-i-Islami party and running for second vice presidency in elections.

“Any kind of reforms without our consultation would be in favor of a particular group,” said Abdullah Qarloq, a member of Junbish-e-Milli party.

However, Mohammad Hedayat, an advisor of Second Vice President Sarwar Danish said that soon reforms will be brought in regulations, structure and figures of the electoral commissions.

“Reform work is underway and there is a clear consensus for bringing reforms,” he said.

It comes as the international community has set electoral reforms as a condition for providing the budget of the Afghan presidential election which is scheduled to be held on 20th of July this year.
