Chief Executive (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah on August 20 said that the upcoming presidential election takes precedence over the peace process and it will ensure a better future for the country, reports Tolo News. “We have to pay attention to the election if peace does not come in the near future,” Mr. Abdullah said in a campaign rally in Kabul. CEO Abdullah said Afghans should go to the ballot boxes to prevent the return of a “liar group”, indirectly hinting at a possible return of the Taliban as part of a possible peace deal.
