The new member list of the High Council for National Reconciliation, announced in a decree by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on Saturday, has been met with mixed reactions by major political parties and politicians. Some on the list, such as former president Hamid Karzai, have rejected their membership, while others have welcomed it.  

The council has 10 members in leadership positions, nine women members, nine high-ranking government officials, and 19 who are an assortment of political figures and former mujahideen leaders.

Based on the Ghani-Abdullah political agreement signed in May, the High Council for National Reconciliation is an independent council, but its members are officially approved by presidential decree, an aspect of the deal which is criticised by politicians.
