| Nangarhar Governor Sherzai Resigns, Expected to Contest for Presidency |
| 2013-10-03 |
| [Tolo News] Tawab Ghorzang, the spokesman of the Independent Directorate of Local Governance (IDLG), on Wednesday announced that Gul Agha Sherzai, the Governor of Nangarhar province, has resigned from the post, in order to file his candidacy for the next spring's Presidential election. Gul Agha is a rapacious, dictatorial bastard. The Taliban got their start rescuing people from his clutches. Can we drone zap him on general principles? Mr. Sherzai is the current Governor of Nangarhar province. He had previously served as the Governor of Kandahar province in the early 90s and from 2001 until 2003. The resignation comes in after Abdul Rab Rasul Sayyaf resigned from the Lower House on Wednesday to contest the 2014 Presidential election. |

| #1 I like the idea of having to resign your political position in order to run for office. Just think what would have happened to McCain and Kerry. |
