Afghan President Ashraf Ghani says based on the constitution his term as president will end in 22nd May 2019, insisting that the upcoming parliamentary and Presidential elections will be held on time in the country.
Speaking in the fifth international symposium of Afghan women held on Monday in the Presidential Palace (ARG), Ghani said that May 2019 will be the end of his presidency and that thereafter, having a presidential election is a must.
“22nd May 2019 will be the end of my presidency and the constitution should be executed on me; therefore, we must have essential preparation for the election,” he said, “Those who sabotage the election [in fact] they sabotage stability [of the country].”
