“The recent cabinet and national-security shake-up by the incumbent government shows it is planning a joint front with insurgents and extremist groups,” ANF leader Ahmad Zia Massould told a press conference in Kabul.

He asked all political parties to come forward and foil the government’s plot, which he called “a wake-up call.”

Massoul accused President Hamid Karzai of trying to appoint individuals of his choice to the election commission in order to get elected his favoured candidate in next presidential election.

For a transparent vote, the politician said the government should hand over its authority to an interim set up and should avoid replacements in the electoral body.
