Ghani Thanks The Nation For Successful Elections

President Ashraf Ghani said the participation of women in the elections as candidates and voters was an historic success for democracy in Afghanistan.
Immediately after the completion of the voting process in Afghanistan’s much-awaited parliamentary elections, President Ashraf Ghani sent out a message thanking security forces and members of the public for not having surrendered to insurgents.

He said that the completion of the election process had sent a clear message to the Taliban that the Afghan people would not surrender to any bullying.

“The great people of Afghanistan, thank you! By casting your votes, you sent a message to the world that you do not want violence, you demonstrated your determination through democracy. You proved to the Taliban that this nation will not surrender to anyone,” said Ghani in a speech to the Afghan people on Sunday.

He said that if the Taliban have ethical courage they must consult with the nation and prove themselves through the will of the nation.

“I want to urge the Taliban to come among the people and show whether their way has a place among the people or the way of democracy. The Afghans proved to their enemies that they do not surrender to threats and warnings,” added Sayyad.
