Karzai rival says won't join Afghan government‎

Asked in a CNN interview about comments by Karzai that he would welcome his rival in his government, Abdullah said he had "absolutely no interest in such a scenario."

If Karzai wins the Nov. 7 vote "as a result of a transparent and credible process," Abdullah said, "I will be in the opposition pursuing the agenda for change."

He said he would push for "changing the highly centralized presidential system into a parliamentary system ... having a truly independent election commission, independent judiciary," among other goals. - Karzai rival says won't join Afghan government‎
