Kabul (The Killid) – Dozens of candidates and their advocators took on a sit-in protest in front of the Independent Electoral Complaints Commission’s door Wednesday, urging for a quick release of the Wolesi Jirga elections’ results of the remaining provinces, including Kabul.
Khan Aqa Razaye, a candidate of the Wolesi Jirga from the capital – who made it to the preliminary result – called the commission to release the final result.

Feda Mohammad Ulfat Saleh, another candidate – who also brought his name through the preliminary list – said the government tends to inaugurate the parliament without the presence of representatives from Kabul, adding it oppresses the right of the residents in the capital city.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Khan Tarakhail, another winning candidate, exclaimed if the government will not announce the final result, he will halt the road to parliament and will foil the inauguration.
It comes after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani at a meeting Tuesday with a number of Parliamentarians – who reserved seats in recent elections – said he is ready to inaugurate parliament in upcoming few days, marking the nine terms for Afghanistan parliament.
