Afghanistan: Afghan Taliban deny changing Prime Minister Mullah Hasan Akhund

KABUL, 26 March 2022, (TON): Afghan Taliban denied rumours that Afghanistan's Prime Minister Mullah Hasan Akhund has been replaced by his deputy.

Some media reports suggested that former first deputy prime minister Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar has been appointed as the new premier of the interim government.

Spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid wrote on his official Twitter handle "some media reports about the reshuffle of the prime Minister are untrue. There has been no change in the cabinet of the Islamic Emirate”
