Afghanistan to hold delayed parliamentary elections in October
Afghanistan will hold postponed parliamentary elections in October, the top election official said on Monday, after last June`s deadline to choose a new assembly was missed because of political squabbling. Parliament`s five-year term expired last June, but elections were postponed because of security fears and disagreements on how to ensure a fair vote after a bitterly disputed presidential election in 2014.
