The lengthened electoral deadlock, subsequent to unaddressed claims of industrial scale fraud orchestrated by sitting government, has earned an international concentration. The world leaders, including president Obama, have had urged the two candidates, extending support to the continuation of the democratic process. However, the harmonious finalization of the disputed electoral process rests to compilation of fair and transparent results.

Devoid of all concerns, it was centrally needed to put and end to electoral crisis, by keeping the workability then specialty of proposed strategies, in consideration. Any strategy succeeding to secure the confidence of the two campaigns and Afghans whilst being able to drag the country out of lengthened impasse, was invalidation of fraud votes and compilation of fairer result, seem intangible.

There were credible clues ascertaining government machinery and anti-state elements, backing a favorite candidate. The deployment of election officials and worsening security condition also unearthed the planned manipulation. The legislation that constrained the membership of international delegate in Electoral Complaint Commssion (ECC), manifests the plot. Moreover, the act of targeting convoy of Dr. Abdullah and hotel hosting foreign election observers, depicts the hatched strategy, to turn the result in the favor of well placed contender. The study of ground reality unraveled the insurgents discouraged the electoral agent of one candidate to be sent to the insurgency hit far flung areas which is happened to serve the interest of another candidate.

The office of election commission rendered the point where the plan of manipulation electoral result was hatched. Even the previous news conference of an election official reflected a degree of favoritism put into practice. The election commission has turned controversial, provided it had a favorite and is alleged to have extended a popular support for one of the contestant. Consequently, one campaign was blatantly aimed to turn down, holding the other winner.

The mega scale fraud involving perhaps more than two million ballots out of roughly eight million reported cast, according to independent international estimates, has thwarted efforts to achieve a democratic transition. The US’s Secretary of State John Kerry therefore, had to intervene twice to keep the campaigns in agreement on a unity government and a complete audit of the vote. In that pursuit an accord was signed between the two candidates, who pledged to abide by the agreement. Nevertheless, the ground reality uncovers otherwise. A state of indifference is witnessed by government relative to agreed setup and henceforth oppositions is offered.

It should be remembered that if politics is exercised on the principles of convergence of all political factions, then no visible or invisible force can dare to harm, our motherland. Nonetheless, if self fulfilling prophecy is practiced, then we ourself will be responsible for ill deeds, awaiting our fates. Any move that prompts to restore the confidence and trust of mainstream political forces might serve well the collective interest of Afghanistan.
