I write to you in reference to Ruchi Kumar and Hikmat Noori’s article Afghan elections: Ashraf Ghani set for victory after preliminary results (December 22): with the results of the latest presidential election in Afghanistan being far from obvious, the people of this war-ravaged country are likely to face plenty of uncertainty in the coming days and weeks. Abdullah Abdullah, the country’s chief executive, is set to challenge the outcome in what could be a repeat of the previous election in 2014 when he lost to President Ghani.
It is important for both candidates to once again come to terms with the result – and each other – so that they can build a stable government that the country so desperately needs. A strong and united government is essential for the peace and prosperity of Afghanistan.
