Formerly, the Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan (IEC) announced the preliminary result of the presidential runoff election that read Ghani lead with a distinct margin of one million votes. The declaration of the result came forth amidst loud uproar of industrial scale fraud charges raised by his political rival Dr. Abdulah. On July 8, Abdullah told a rally of his supporters that he was the victor and should be inaugurated as Afghanistan's next president. The political scenario clearly manifested the upcoming political crisis.

It is therefore, a smooth transition of power in Afghanistan appears highly problematic unless some sort of deal is worked out between Ghani and Abdullah before July 22. Formerly, Secretary of State John Kerry paid a visit to Kabul, met the two presidential runner, subsequently brokered deal to ease the Afghan election crisis with a comprehensive audit of the vote was quietly agreed on an even more profound reshaping of the entire government system, with simulataneious molding presidential to parlimenatry democracy owing an empowered prime minsiter.
The credible media sources revealed that the deal is fixed between Ghani and Abdullah at this point that might turn out to be the right approach; yet it still remains an unlawful method of transfer of power, given the parliamentary system pleads constitutional amendments. 

According to reliable sources the deal made entails; the candidate who is declared president after a complete vote audit in the coming weeks would then appoint either the loser, or that candidate’s nominee, to become a “chief executive” for the government, with power distribution as to be agreed on later. Undoubtedly, it would give rise to a blend system owing the taste of both parliamentary and presidential systems until the constitution is not amended. Following the onset of deal, the Constitution would be amended to create a parliamentary democracy with a prime minister as head of government and a president as the head of state. It is said that both Mr. Abdullah and Mr. Ghani pledged to accept the results and form an all-encompassing unity government following the assurance of the deal with Mr. Kerry.

Seeing the complications of lengthened deadlock the deal was necessitated to avert the system heading to political turmoil, nonetheless, the credibility of the electoral result still counts enormously. One may not deliberately, give the deal a winning status, as long as an inclusive government is not seen successfully operating on the ground, still reliant on clearer power sharing formula. It is feared if this or identical formula fails to deliver the desired outcome, the prolonged political crisis waits the fate of Afghanistan will substantiate the potential threat to harmonious co-existence of Afghanistan.

The poor result formulation depicted that most of Afghan institutions are poorly governed and administered due to corrupt practices and misuse of power or authority. The thirteen years long centralized presidential democracy didn’t concentrate on institution building, instead the presidential palace offered a political solution to every minor or major problem and thus materlized the problems witnessed presently.
