Question

What is the name of the Parliament of Afghanistan?

A.

Majlis

B.

Shora

C.

National Assembly

D.

Jatiya Sansad

Correct option is B

The Parliament of Afghanistan is known as the Shora, a bicameral legislative body. It consists of two houses: the Wolesi Jirga (House of the People), which is directly elected by the Afghan population, and the Meshrano Jirga (House of Elders), which includes appointed and elected members representing various ethnic groups and provinces. Before the Taliban’s return to power in 2021, the Shora played a crucial role in the governance of Afghanistan, passing laws, approving budgets, and providing checks and balances to the executive branch. The Wolesi Jirga had 250 seats and represented the people, while the Meshrano Jirga functioned as the upper house with a more consultative role. However, following the Taliban's takeover, the future of the Shora remains uncertain.
