Armed men on a motorbike shot dead the mayor of western Heart province's Shindand district on Friday night, also killing a civilian in the gunfire, local officials said.
Mayor Abdul Salaam Rahimi had left the mosque for Friday evening prayers and was on his way home when a motorbike with two men approached and fired at him, provincial spokesman Mahiduing Noori said.
A civilian was hit by the bullets and also died, he said.
No group, including the Taliban, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Rahimi has worked as the mayor of Shindand district for more than a year.
Local police said that they have started investigating the attack.
It came on the same day that the head of women's affairs in eastern Laghman province Hanifa Safi was assassinated by car bomb.
Eleven others, including Safi's husband, were wounded in the blast caused by a bomb which had been strapped to her car.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack.
