Celebrating 25 Years of Scoop
Sec. Clinton Remarks on the Afghan Election
I recognize the decision by Dr. Abdullah Abdullah not to participate in the second round of balloting in the Afghan presidential elections.
He ran a dignified and
constructive campaign that drew the support of Afghan people
across the nation. We hope that he will continue to stay
engaged in the national dialogue, and work on behalf of the
security and prosperity of the people of
Afghanistan.
It is now a matter for the Afghan
authorities to decide on a way ahead that brings this
electoral process to a conclusion in line with the Afghan
constitution. We will support the next President and the
people of Afghanistan, who seek and deserve a better
future.
ENDS
