Background:
United National Front of Afghanistan, NFA, is a key element in the opposition in Kabul. In Afghanistan more than 30 people announced in Kabul on March 13, 2007 the formation of a political grouping called the United Front of Afghanistan. The initial membership list includes representatives of about 15 political parties, as well as independents that include former communists and Mustafa Zaher a grandson of the last Afghan monarch. Members have since talked about the group's agenda and intentions in general terms, but much of the coverage so far has ignored what unites the front -- beyond the well-worn slogans of "national unity." Members of the United Front include former Afghan First Vice President Ahmad Zia Mas'ud, Ex-Energy and Water Minister Mohammad Ismail Khan, Deputy Chief of Staff of the High Command of the Armed Forces of Afghanistan General Abdul Rashid Dostum, and Marshall Mohammad Qasim Fahim, who currently serves as a senior adviser. Kazemi, the secretary of NFA asserted that the United Front aims to work under the Afghan Constitution and within the Karzai administration to bring about gradual reform. Kazemi insisted that the United Front is no opposition bloc, adding that its critical evaluation of the Karzai administration is an "exercise in democracy."

The new United (National) Front calls for amending Afghanistan's Islamic constitution to transform the political system from a presidential to a parliamentary model. It also wants provincial governors elected rather than selected by the president. The United Front proposes changing the country's electoral system from the current system (a so-called single nontransferable voting system, or SNTV) to a proportional system, which would arguably strengthen the role of political parties. It has also outlined a series of social services that it vows to implement to improve the lives of the Afghan public.

The Front has become less attractive political organization after Prince Mustafa Zahir left the NFA to engage in politics independently, differences stirred up between ethnic leaders from Northern Provinces, the traditional supporters of the Front and its formal leader Burhanuddin Rabbani turned the NFA into a personal organization (consequently, all this has led to the growth in popularity of other opposition parties, for one, the National Union Supreme Council of Afghanistan). National Front of Afghanistan finally Apr 15, 2009 nominated Dr Abdullah Abdullah, former foreign minister as their candidate for forthcoming presidential election in 2009.

The National Front of Afghanistan (NFA) and the National Coalition of Afghanistan (NCA) issued a joint statement on 30 April 2012 alleging the Afghan Government was personalizing the election institutions and engineering the date and outcome of the third presidential elections planned for 2014. The NCA is led by Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, who was a candidate in 2009 presidential elections. Mohammad Younas Qanoni, MP, is another prominent leader of NCA.
