Several individuals competed in each community to become the leader of the community.

Niamat Barikzai, a spokesman for the Kabul municipality said “after the political changes, there have been 35 elections and 35 community leaders have been appointed. When the people complain about a community leader, or a community leader dies or steps down, there will be an election.”

Meanwhile, Kabul residents welcomed the holding of an election for the selection of the community leaders.
