Afghan leader asserts control over election body, The New York Times (2010)

Putting into effect a legislative decree that rewrote the election law, President Karzai will now be able to choose the five members of the Election Complaint Commission, after consultation with the Parliament. Three seats were previously appointed by the UN, while the other two were held by Afghans. The Election Complaint Commission reported the election irregularities in previous elections, forcing the run-off. The opposition has widely denounced this law change.
