SHIBERGHAN/KUNDUZ/MAIMANA (Pajhwok): A majority of the newly-elected provincial council members in Jawzjan, Kunduz and Faryab provinces are youth.
In the 2009 provincial elections, only four youth found their way to the Jawzjan council out of nine members, but the number of youth on the body increased to 12 out of 15 members in the April 5 elections. The youth were among 58 others jumping into the fray.
A newly-elected provincial council member, Ikramuddin Farjad, told Pajhwok Afghan News he would serve the people using his experience and education.
