(CNN) -- Political uncertainty lingered in Afghanistan on Sunday after a meeting of elected members of the country's parliament ended with a decision to send a proposal back to President Hamid Karzai.
The proposed resolution sets parliament's inauguration for Wednesday and also would dissolve the special court established in December to probe hundreds of fraud allegations brought forward by losing candidates.
Karzai earlier rejected the proposal to dissolve the special court, lawmaker Baktash Siawash said. Karzai's office has not returned repeated calls from CNN for comment.
Members of parliament did not reach consensus over what to do if Karzai rejects the proposal again.
"What is clear is that if the president does not participate in the inauguration, it could create a huge political crisis that will seriously affect the government," parliament member Ahmad Behzad said.
