Permission for political parties to exist and for regular elections to be held are democratic powers regarding political opposition and political rights in the government of Afghanistan. The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan would not be able to assert a claim to democratic republicanism without allowing the country's people to address concerns through such formal structures as institutional and opposition party options and local and national voting.

Holding office because of the existence of political parties and the scheduling of regular elections are the powers which are democratic in the government of Afghanistan.

Usually the government is under the control of a political party or a coalition of political party's. If your party does not have control of the government but does have seats in the parliament or senate then it is an opposition party. That is a party that opposes the government. The official opposition is the party with the second most seats in the house of commons.

Democratic Government.
The style of government, often authoritarian or democratic.
The reason that Afghanistan is not terribly democratic, even though it has a number of democratic institutions (such as parliaments, elected presidents, etc.), is that the actual functioning of the government occurs less according to "legitimate" political processes, such as parliamentary voting procedures, bureaucratic agencies, and law enforcement agencies, and more through the use of backdoor channels and personal relationships. This has kept Afghanistan, while legally a federal system, much more confederal with individual warlords and their families exerting a large amount of control outside of major cities (Kabul, Qandahar, Herat, etc.)
Democratic Government Authoritarian Government • 2 or more political parties • free press • free media • free, fair, frequent elections • equal legal rights • courts free of political control • minorities respected • only one political party • government controlled press • censored media • fake elections or no elections • unequal legal rights • courts under political control • minorities often under attack - makes decisions based on the will of the people - citizens choose individuals in elections to represent them in government - tolerate opposition - other political parties - opposition and criticism are part of the system - people seen as citizens - little or no input from the people - those being governed - entirely dominated by one person (dictatorship) - don't tolerate opposition - rely on military, informers and secret police to eliminate opposition and stay in power - people seen as subjects
