3. Biodata:
Abdul Zahir Faiz Zada Alhaj Dr. Abdul Zahir Faiz Zada is the resident of Engeel District, Herat Province. He was born 1975. During its first tenure, he was head of the Provincial Council for two year. He got his primary studies at his native village. He was a physician but later he was is student of politics and law at a private university.(2019)

Dr. Abdul Zahir Faizzada, who claimed IDLG officials preventing him from contesting the vote for Provincial Council Head, told nearly 7000 protestors the elections were illegal and should be conducted again in the presence of all council members and within the legal constituency. The second round in Kabul came after last week’s electoral fray between Qatali and Faizzada failed to throw up a clear winner. Dr Abdul Zahir Faizzada is a prominent member of the Shura-ye Hamgarai and a former ally of Ismail Khan, had apparently fallen out of favour with his old patron who was now supporting the younger Sayed Wahid Qatali.

Thousands of residents of Herat city took to the streets, rejecting as illegal the election of Syed Wahid Qatali as provincial council chief. Qatali won a second round of the ballot that involved 12 members and held in Kabul last week in presence of Independent Directorate of Local Governance (IDLG) officials. Governor Dr. Daud Shah Saba called the elections as a coup against him, saying the result was unacceptable to him as the vote had not been fair because a majority of members were absent.(20130327)

He said Friday, April 2, 2021 that he was heading to evaluate security outposts that the insurgents started firing at his convoy on the outskirts of provincial capital Ferozkoh. He said that six of his bodyguards and a video journalist working for the government-run TV (RTA) in Ghor were injured.
