Endorsement for the Second Round Afghan Presidential Election

On Saturday 7 November, Juche 98, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan will hold its second round presidential election. The first round, was held in August. The first round, was marred with revolutionary acts, which the Taliban claimed responsibility, and vote fraud. Incumbent president Hamid Karzai won the first round with 48% of the vote. Karzai originally had 54%, however several false ballots were discovered. Main challenger, Abdullah Abdullah, also had some false votes. Since the official results have determined that no candidate received more than 50% of the votes, a second round must be held. In these elections I am supporting current President Hamid Karzai. I'm supporting Karzai because Abdullah, has recently announced he may withdraw. Abdullah bitched the most about vote fraud, and now he is threatening to withdraw. This strategy never works, nor will it ever. By backing out of the election or boycotting it, you loose all credibility. If you don't back out of the election, you have the chance to win, and if vote fraud occurs you can truely revolutionise the nation. I considered supporting Abdullah, until he threatened to back out of the election. I do not support either candidate. In the first round of the elections I endorsed Member of the Loya Jirgah, Shalha Atta, who wanted to re-indtroduce former policies of President Lt.-Gen. Sardar Dost Mohammed Khan (Pr. 1972-1978). Under Khan's policies, Afghanistan flourished.
