KABUL, 27 March 2022, (TON): Speaking in an exclusive interview Hezb-e-Islami leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has rejected the idea of forming a coalition government as the way forward, and instead came out in support of holding elections.
Hekmatyar said “history shows that coalition governments have not been successful in Afghanistan. “Coalition governments cannot administer a country like Afghanistan.”
Hekmatyar said “Nowhere has it been successful. In Afghanistan too, it has not been successful. Experience also suggests the same. We witnessed it in the past 40 years. The communists could not form a coalition government. The secularists couldn’t make a successful coalition government in the past 20 years.”
He said that Afghanistan needs a single-party government.
Hekmatyar said “such a government should be led by a president who is elected and who is leading the most powerful inclusive political party.”
He said that Hezb-e-Islami was the only inclusive political party in Afghanistan.
