KABUL (Pajhwok): President Ashraf Ghani has appointed Maj. Gen. Ahmad Faisal Begzad as new governor for northeastern Badakhshan province.

A highly qualified man, with enough experience in governance, has been appointed in line with the recommendation of the Independent Directorate of Local Governance (IDLG).

A resident of Khatayan village of Taloqan, he replaces Shah Wali Adib. Begzad has also served as governor of Takhar and Faryab provinces from 1990 to 1991.
