KABUL (The Killid) – United Nations Assistant Mission in Afghanistan urges all presidential candidates to conduct a “fair campaign” as indicated in Election Law, according to a statement UNAMA released Monday.
“As the presidential election campaign period started on 28 July and runs to 25 September, all candidates and supporters are expected to engage in a fair campaign as outlined in the Election Law, the Independent Election Commission’s Code of Conduct for the candidates and regulations enacted by the Independent Election Commission,” statement read.
“As all stakeholders must work toward building trust and confidence in the election process, it is hoped that the campaigns will provide the Afghan people with sufficient information and understanding for them to exercise an informed choice for their next president,” statement further read.
Meanwhile, UNAMA said “the media plays a particularly important role in the elections process, just as all Afghans should play their part in creating and ensuring an equitable and peaceful campaign period.”
The statement comes after Afghan presidential election has officially begun as of Saturday July 28, 2019, providing candidates 60 days to fight the political battle in their favor.
