On April 5th, men and women across Afghanistan voted in presidential and provincial council elections.

4月5日, 阿富汗全国人民在总统及省级议会选举中投出了自己关键的一票。

Meanwhile, in Zabul, several people died in a bomb attack on a vehicle carrying the head of the provincial council. He survived.

与此同时，在扎布尔，省议会主席乘坐的一辆汽车遭遇炸弹袭击，数人丧生。议会主席得以幸存。

For the provincial council there was substituted, except in Georgia, a senate; while the lower house, or assembly, was continued virtually without change.

除格鲁吉亚外， 省议会由参议院代替；而下议院，或议会，几乎没有变化地继续存在。

No figure brokered more power in the city than Ahmed Wali Karzai: head of the provincial council, unsavoury ally of the NATO forces and half-brother of Hamid Karzai, the president.

坎大哈政治掮客中没有比艾哈迈德·瓦利·卡尔扎伊更炙手可热的了。艾哈迈德·瓦利是省议会议长，总统哈米德·卡尔扎伊同父异母的兄弟，因为依靠北约势力在阿富汗声名狼藉。

The intelligence agency was using the center to train and equip pro-government militia members before sending them to other parts of the province to support security forces, said Mr. Hotak, the Wardak provincial council member.

该情报机构要先在该中心对那些亲政府民兵进行训练，给他们配上装备，再将他们派往该省其他地区支持安全部队，瓦尔达克省议会成员霍塔克说。
