Afghan Political Party Conducts Online Poll On Future Political System of Afghanistan

The National Congress Party of Afghanistan initiated an online poll, termed the "right to self-determination”, regarding the future political system of Afghanistan.

In the poll, the participants were asked to choose "Islamic Emirate", "Presidential Republic", "Federal Republic" or “Partition” as their choice for the future of Afghanistan.

On Monday, in a statement, the party wrote, "Following the announcement of the poll results, the National Congress Party will take practical political measures to achieve it, respecting the option that the majority of people have agreed to."

Latif Pedram, the leader of the National Congress Party of Afghanistan, has said several times that the centralisation of power is the fundamental problem of citizens of Afghanistan, and he believes that this challenge can be addressed through the establishment of a "federal republic system”.

He also said that if the supporters of the centralised presidential republic insist on the centralisation of power and are not ready to talk about the establishment of a federal republic and the "fair power sharing among all ethnic groups in the country", he does not hesitate to go for partition of Afghanistan.
