The head of the House of Representatives Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi meanwhile said the government and the election commission should carry out their responsibilities.
Mr Ibrahimi warned the government and the commission that if the commission and government do not take measure to reopen the Bureau of the election commission in Ghazni province, the two bodies are responsible for any consequences.
The district election commission’s office in Ghazni has been blocked a month ago as a number of sit-ins protested, demanding to zoning the election in Ghazni province.
