He made the remarks in meeting with political deputy to UNAMA who called on vice president in his office the other day.
Thanking UNAMA for its support to Afghanistan, the vice president noted that bringing reforms in the electoral system is necessary for transparency of the elections in future and stability in the country, hoping the concerned commission would soon begin its work in this regard.
