Afghan National Assembly

The Afghan National Assembly is the country's legislative body, responsible for making and passing laws. It consists of two parts: the Wolesi Jirga (Lower House), whose members are elected by the people, and the Meshrano Jirga (Senate), whose members include appointed and elected representatives. The Assembly debates policies, approves budgets, and checks the government's work, serving as a crucial link between citizens and state authority. It plays a key role in shaping Afghanistan’s laws and governance, ensuring representation and oversight within the democratic framework.
