| 2014-06-08 |
| [Tolo News] The Wadan Afghanistan Party, Ishaqzai Tribal Council and a number of civil society groups operating under the name of Afghanistan Independence Coalition announced their endorsement of presidential candidate Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai on Friday. Muhammad Sarwar Danish, Ashraf Ghani's Second Vice President, welcomed the endorsements and called on his team's supporters to go out and canvas their communities. "When choosing between the two teams, consider four criteria: national solidarity, security and stability, economic programs and fourth, a fine administration, free of corruption, that can dispel corruption from Afghanistan," Danish said. Ghani's running mate also took the opportunity to discourage ethnic politics and urge Afghan leaders and voters to rise above the traditional divisions that have been the source of so much conflict throughout the country's history. Abdul Ahad Muhammad Yar, the leader of the Wadan Afghanistan Party, said his group decided to back Ghani because of common values. "We have not endorsed him based on any deals, and we don't ask for anything, we have only endorsed him based on the values of Afghanistan and for support of development and stability in our country," he said. |
