KABUL (SW) – The Presidential Candidates Council has proposed a plan to establish a national partnership government.
The plan was presented during a presser here on Monday. It blamed the government for being not accountable and unable to successfully take forward the plans for peace and elections.
The PCC stated that the lack of an accountable government has made the peace process a nightmare and that the electoral crisis has gone worst from bad. Based on this proposed plan, a state-of-the-art, participatory government will be created based on an electoral, inclusive and equitable participation of all groups and parties.
Ahmad Wali Massoud, a member of the PCC, said the concept of democracy based on a majority has failed in the two previous decades, and now is the time to replace it with consensual democracy. Massoud called majority-based democracy a fundamental reason for the monopoly of power, discrimination and despotism, adding that it had brought the country closer to collapse.
He emphasized that the proposed national partnership government will create national consensus in the country and will mitigate the electoral crisis. Massoud added that the election is void and the election commissions have lost their credibility.
Shahab Hakimi, another member of the PCC, said that by creating a national partnership government, a responsible government would emerge and authoritarianism would end. Hakimi added that in the national partnership government, all the citizens of the country will participate.
In a proposal put forward by the PCC, the establishment of a national partnership government is proposed based on competence, education, geography and ethnicity in accordance with Article 72 of the Constitution.
