KABUL (Pajhwok): Promises by presidential elections contenders are imaginary and inapplicable, leading to a trust deficit between the people and candidates, as well as damaging credibility of the polls, Pajhwok Afghan News has found.

Campaign for the presidential elections kicked off on July 28 and will continue till September 25. The electioneering will end 48 hours before voting.

Some candidates have held out imaginary and unworkable promises while addressing campaign gatherings. Their statements are apparently meant for public consumption and strengthening their vote bank.
