Committee one drafted 45 articles. The Jirga sat from 2002 through 2004. Popular elections to the Wolesi Jirga, the lower house of Afghanistan's national assembly followed in 2005.

'The government should make some arrangement for economic help for the youth to prevent them from joining the anti-government groups,' said Nasruddin Mohseni, a senior leader of Hizb e Wahadat e Islami, the party of the minority Shi'a Hazara community. Mohseni's party supported Karzai in the election, mainly because party supremo, Karim Khalili, is a vice president. Even so, Mohseni described Atta as a 'good governor'.
