Prince Mustafa Zahir Khan Mostapha Zaher was born at the Arg-i-Shahi, Kabul, 02. May 1964. He is the grandson of afghan Ex-King Mohammad Zahir Shah, who died in Kabul at the age of 92 on 23.07.2007 in his residence in Kabul. Mostafa was educated in Rome, Vienna, London and Queen's Univ., Kingston, Ontario. Co-Founder Afghan Medical Relief Organization (AMRO), Mustafa was politically engaged with the "anti Karzai" National Front, which has become less attractive political organization after he left the NFA 2008 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).

Mustafa Zahir was introduced as presidential nominee for membership of the Meshrano Jirga for a five-year term on October 8. He replaces Essa Khan Shinwari.(20171119)
