Mawlawi Shahzada Shahid was elected to represent Kunar Province in Afghanistan's Wolesi Jirga, the lower house of its National Legislature, in 2005.[1]
A report from the Navy Postgraduate School on Kunar stated that he was a religious scholar who studied in Pakistan.[1] It mentioned that he was "associated with Sayyaf [sic] or Hezbi Islami (unclear) [sic]". It also noted that he served on the counter-narcotics committee.
In 2010, Shahzada joined a new group of legislators who called themselves the "Reformists".[2]
According to Pahjwok Afghan News, he was re-elected to the Wolesi Jirga in 2010.[3]
In February 2012, Afghan President Hamid Karzai appointed Shahzada to lead a delegation to investigate the deaths of civilians in Konar and Kapisa provinces caused by NATO forces.[4]
