Soon after the news, people and especially the traders and investors had a sigh of relief as it has paved way for the overall hope from the economy and the country. It was the reason why, the dollar price sharply declined and this decrease is still in progress. The decision of the political forerunners to count all the ballots has been welcomed by international community and termed it a historic moment for the country, paving its way towards democratic stability and economic prosperity.
The decision was welcomed by the United States, the Britain, Russia and other members of the international community and regarded as a time to strengthen the democracy. Now that both the candidates have agreed upon to end the deadlock and be present with their representatives at the occasion of the recounting of the ballots, it is hoped that there should not be any kind of problem that should once again bring the same factors in surface that caused the electoral deadlock after the first round of elections. For this reason, all the stakeholders must do their job.
In this regard, the most important responsibility lies on the shoulders of the Independent Elections Commission that must ensure a transparent and acceptable mechanism for the recounting. According to the Mr. Nuristani, the recounting process is going to start from today (Tuesday) for which 100 teams have been established that would work incessantly and the process will take 3 weeks to be completed. Although the results have already got late but for the bright future of the country, we can wait for three more weeks. The commission must ensure that the recounting process should be undertaken after the consultation and approval of both the candidates so that there should not any future complaint from them.
In the same way, international community can make sure the transparency of the process by sending more and more independent observers so that there should not be any kind of objection at this round of counting.
And most importantly, both the presidential candidates should work together keeping in view the vast interests of the people and country and not their own interests. In such circumstances, we will be sure that this deadlock will end and country will continue its safe and prosperous journey on path of democracy and welfare.
