Mujahid rejects reshuffle in caretaker government

KABUL (Pajhwok): Officials of the caretaker government deny reports about a reshuffle in the cabinet, saying no changes have been brought to the government structure.

Some media outlets reported that after a three-day cabinet meeting, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar was appointed as new Prime Minister of the caretaker government.

The reports said the changes had been made during a three-day cabinet meeting chaired by supreme leader Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada.

Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman-in-chief for the government, tweeted: “Rumors about change of the Prime Minister of the government made by some media are untrue, no changes have been brought to the cabinet.”
