Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan announced the preliminary results of the presidential elections on 22th. December 2019. They reported that Mr Ashraf Ghani received 50.64% of the votes.

These results are highly suspicious and likely fraudulent, especially given that they are just barely past the threshold necessary to avoid a runoff election.  The Master of Lies and Fraud absolutely wanted to present results showing him getting the required 50% of the vote plus 1. He apparently does not care about the reaction of the Afghan people and the global community. 

There is plenty of evidence and witnesses to prove that the election was manipulated. Mr Ghani`s followers stole several thousand biometric devices.

Thousands of citizens demonstrated in ten cities for several days against the electoral fraud.

The elections were turned into a private election in Mr Ghani's favour and the results cannot be recognized.

Mr Ghani welcomed the preliminary results and the news of his imputed victory, acting as if he had been elected for another 5 years in office.

The elections were clearly manipulated and Mr Ghani deserves to end up in prison. He is a traitor to the nation. That is why no one wants to involve him in the peace talks.

We, numerous Afghan politicians, and the Afghan people do not recognise these results.

Kind regards,

Hayattullah Maiwand
