KHOST CITY (Pajhwok): The provincial council of southeastern Khost province on Saturday announced it would be electing the administration board tomorrow.

The Independent Election Commission (IEC) has warned provincial councils of Paktia, Khost and some other provinces to elect their administration boards before December 22.

In its warning letter to these councils, the IEC has said it would intervene if the PCs failed to elect the boards before the deadline.

Wagma Arzo, a Khost PC member, told Pajhwok Afghan News election for the administration board would be held on Sunday.

It has been more than a month since PC poll results were announced, but some PCs are yet to elect their administration boards due to differences among members.

Another provincial council member, Qaimat Khan Mangal, hoped every member would participate in tomorrow’s election of the PC head, deputy head and secretary.

There have been reports Khost PC members had been offered $200,000 per vote by a specific senatorial candidate.
