Candidatos presidenciais afegãos

By Duncan Mil

September 28, 2019 - Apresentam-se dezasseis candidatos contra o Presidente Ashraf Ghani
na primeira volta das presidenciais no Afeganistão a 28 de setembro,
incluindo barões da guerra, antigos comunistas, mujaedines e talibãs.

In February, the Independent Election Commission published a preliminary list of the 18 candidates ahead of the election date of April 20, 2019. Security concerns then delayed the election to July 20.

Now the long-awaited ballot could be postponed again following the abrupt cancellation of talks with the Taliban by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Last month, on the first day of the campaign season, shooters and suicide bombers attacked the Kabul office of Amrullah Saleh, Ghani’s running-mate, killing at least 20 people.

More than 24,800 civilians have lost their lives since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, according to the United Nations.
