| 2014-08-20 |
| [Tolo News] Syed Fazel Aqa Hussain Sancharaki, a front man for presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah ... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun... , reported on Tuesday that crucial aspects of the negotiations of the National Unity Committee have yet to be resolved and that major disagreements over the balance of authority between the president and chief executive remain. Although nearly all of the matters that were intended to be discussed by the National Unity Committee have been agreed upon, providing this year's election with a much needed dose of progress, according to Abdullah's camp, a key part of the negotiations has proven somewhat intractable. "The disagreements are in the perspectives of the two electoral teams over the structure of power; the Reform and Unanimity team believes that power should be shared between the president and the chief executive, because the president has major responsibilities and the executive authorities must be given to the chief executive, because it is in the interests of democracy in the country," Sancharaki said on Tuesday. "His Excellency Dr. Abdullah agrees, but the rival team supports the centralized system, meaning the president keep all things," he went on. "The Change and Continuity team hasn't agree on it and decided to refer the issue to their leader." |
