3. Biodata:
Haji Sayed Mohammad Daud Nasiri was born in 1957 in a wealthy Sadat family in Afghanistan. He belongs to the Sadat tribe. He spent his childhood in the Kijran District, Daikundi Province. He completed his primary and secondary education at Kijran District in Daikundi  Province. Nasiri joined the Mahaz Mili (National front Party of Afghanistan. He served as the Commander for the Mujahideen, who at the time were fighting to expel Soviet Army troops during the Soviet war in Afghanistan (1982–1989).  He also studied Islamic theology. In 2016, he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Law and Political Science from the Bakhtar University in Kabul.

In 2018 election he came in first with 13,055 votes (a little under 10% of the total number of votes). In the 2010 parliamentary election he came fifth, and so was not given a seat in the Parliament (given that Daikundi has four seats). However, when one of the elected MPs, Muhammad Nur Akbari, resigned to join Qayum Karzai, Hamed Karzai’s brother, as his second running mate for the 2014 presidential election, Sayed Daud became his replacement in the Wolesi Jirga. Prior to this, Sayed Daud was a senator from Daikundi from 2006 to 2010.

He is rich and owns land in Daikundi and Kandahar. Nasiri is a member of the Mahaz-e Melli political party, led by Sayed Hamed Gailani. Although he ran as an independent candidate, he had the strong support of the Gailani family. His elder brother, Sayed Muhammad Sadat Nasiri, was deputy governor of Daikundi during the election (he resigned on 15 January 2019). Sayed Daud’s brother-in-law, Sayed Taher Etemadi, is the district governor of Pato, the newly-established district of Daikundi.

Nasiri is married and has 7 children
