The electoral result of a second round of the 2014 election turned controversial with loud claims of mega scale fraud; hence served to lengthen the political impasse. This proceeding shouldn’t be deemed, mere a political transition, instead a significant political process that might have installed a major shift in the fate of war and poverty stricken people of Afghanistan.

Both the masses and political elites, alike are anxiously waiting for election result to be unveiled. Previously, President Hamid Karzai renewed his concerns at the negative effects the delay in announcing the presidential election results was having on people's lives, especially security, economic and governance issues. Undoubtedly, the delayed electoral result earned not only financial losses but also socio-political downfall for this piece of land. It can summed up, the seemingly orchestrated deadlock, pressed harder the very existence of the country; it absolutely, takes longer to recover from the inflicted loss. It is unanimously demanded the election process should be completed and results unveiled on schedule.

The international community, including the US, had previously, urged the two candidates, extend support to the continuation of the democratic process. In that pursuit any formula other than power sharing might not seem workable, given the two candidates strongly adheres to the binding principles. However, the harmonious finalization of the disputed electoral process rests to compilation of fair and transparent results, or adopts a clear deal making course drawing equal and mutual agreement of both candidates.

Bearing in mind 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. The deal may not be given 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 and it will substantiate the potential threat to harmonious co-existence of Afghanistan.

Seeing at the gesticulation displayed by the two candidates, a varied picture is drawn from their outlook. Dr. Ashraf Ghani, till date deems himself the winner, even after the result of the recount is drawn. He is hesitant to a certain degree about the formation of the National Unity government. He still dreams of formation of unilateral government with all ministries distributed to the people of his choices. Dr. Abdullah, seemingly has installed a shift to compromise on the aforementioned setup, then aimlessly sticking to the negation of the electoral result endlessly. Previously, he uncovered his reliance to preserve national unity between the two candidates is more important than the details of their accord whilst expressing his point of view with a national unity government.

The apt functioning of the National Government rests on the power sharing in its structure and mutual cooperation and strong coordination built between the two presidential runners, along the course of time. One cannot rule out, enormous complications the presumed setup carries along itself, till every issue is streamlined and rightly directed. A great deal of caution and carefulness must be considered in this regard; otherwise, all the hopes and dreams that the people of Afghanistan had while casting their votes would vaporize and the country would once again caught in the quagmire of instability and chaos. The relevant stakeholders in this regard can play a very crucial role and they need to keep their eyes on long-term stability of the country instead of their short-term benefits.
