President Ashraf Ghani has publicly proposed that the leadership of the peace council be taken on by his principal political opponent Abdullah Abdullah, who disputed the recent election results and has announced a parallel government, reports Tolo News on April 4.“You share with Mr. Abdullah the issue that I am suggesting. It is the leadership of the peace process,” Ghani said. “A high peace council should be established and (Dr. Abdullah) should head the high peace council.” Ghani added: “His (Abdullah’s) protocol can be the protocol of a vice president, his security, his budget, his decision- making, all can be discussed. We have full flexibility.” Ghani said he had suggested that Abdullah include his own (Abdullah's) aides in Ghani's new cabinet. “We recommended Mr. Abdullah give a list of all his influential aides,” Ghani said. “Measures should be clear. Each minister, without exception, should have a commitment with you (lawmakers), with me and with the nation.”
