<p><a href="/en/afganistan/kabul" class="glossify-link">KABUL</a> (Pajhwok): An opinion poll released on Tuesday said more than 32 percent of Afghans were not satisfied with President Ashraf Ghani’s performance during his 100 days in office.</p>
<p>In the poll, a joint venture of ATR consulting, a team of Afghan and international professionals, and Tolonews, some 2448 people were interviewed in all the 34 provinces. It showed only 27.5 percent of those interviewed approved the president’s performance.</p>
<p>The survey shows Ghani’s popularity graph has sharply declined from 59.9 percent during his first month in office to 27.5 percent after marking 100 days in office.</p>
<p>About 30 percent respondents showed moderate satisfaction with Ghani’s performance and one in 10 respondents said they had no opinion.</p>
<p>The survey, the second on Ghani’s performance, was conducted between December 27, 2014 and January 3, 2015. The first survey took place after the president completed one month in office.</p>
<p>Earlier, in a report released by SadRoz.af mentioned the delayed cabinet as the main reason behind Ghani’s lukewarm performance in the first 100 days.</p>
<p>The report said the unity government had so far met four campaign promises and made some progress on 23 other pledges. At least 83 more promises remain untouched.</p>
<p>President Ghani signed security agreements with the United States and <a href="/en/nato" class="glossify-link">NATO</a> starting this month.</p>
<p>He ordered reopening an investigation into the $900-million collapse of Kabul Bank and made “rapid progress in the first 40 days,” according to the report.</p>
<p>But Ghani’s government could not form a cabinet amid worsening violence nationwide. Kabul witnessed more than two dozen attacks since his Sept. 29 inauguration alone.</p>
<p>Many Afghans had expectations for the unity government that came into being after a bitter, 10-month election campaign, nearly derailed by accusations of widespread fraud.</p>
<p>Officials close to Ghani said the president was aware of the setbacks and his inability so far to communicate his reform agenda.</p>
<p>They said the president Ghani would soon roll out a plan to show a “marked change” in Afghans’ daily lives within months.</p>
<p>CEO Abdullah on Tuesday assuaged the nation’s concerns over the delayed cabinet, saying the council of minister will be composed of honest and sincere persons.</p>
