Although the elections were boycotted by the mujaheddin, the government leaves 50 of the 234 seats vacant in the House of the People and a small number of seats in the House of Elders, with hope that the guerrillas will abandon their armed struggle and present their own representatives to participate in the new administration. The People's Democratic Party got only 46 seats, but was guaranteed to get support from the National Front, which gained 45, and from the various newly recognized left-wing parties, which got a total of 24 seats.
