New Party Launched As Elections Draw Closer

A new political party by the name of Mehwar-e-Mardum-e-Afghanistan was officially launched on Sunday in Kabul.

Leaders of the new party addressed a crowd of supporters and said the National Unity Government (NUG) was not able to manage political, security, economic or other affairs of national importance.

The new party was formed by a number of political figures who have in the past worked for government.

Around 100 individuals – including Rahmatullah Nabil, the former head of the National Directorate of Security (NDS) and Rangin Dadfar Spanta, the former adviser to the national security council – are included in the leadership of the new party.
