KABUL (Pajhwok): Presidential contender Dr. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai has asked his rival Dr. Abdullah Abdullah to accept election results as a verdict of the nation.
After casting his vote, Ahmadzai told reporters he expected a landslide in the runoff. He would accept the outcome but at the same time he expected Abdullah to respect the nation’s choice.
“Based on the constitution, a transparent election is mandatory and we always obey the law. I want Dr. Abdullah to accept the results of today’s ballot,” he added.
The former World Bank economist said: “We represent the nation and go by people’s choice. God willing, people will endorse us today. Our commitment is that we will serve the nation.”
