Title The Dynamics of Power Sharing in Afghanistan: Challenges and Prospects for Ongoing Peace Process

Author(s) Musa Khan

Abstract ABSTRACT This research thesis focuses to evaluate the essence and application of Power Sharing Formula adopted in Afghanistan followed by the conflictual election outcome of 2014. The study also highlights the challenges it faces in implementation of Power Sharing settlement and its role in current peace process. After the 2014 presidential elections in Afghanistan, the two leading candidates (Ashraf Ghani & Dr. Abdullah) rejected the election results. The disagreement converted into a political conflict further destabilizing Afghanistan’s political fabrication. The reelection in the same year also could not manage the issue. Hence a Power Sharing Formula was charted out considering the dispute and for establishing a legitimate government and peace in Afghanistan. Though, the distribution of power and authority domain remains a complex division to define between the two contenders, however in September 2014, both the parties agreed to a power sharing settlement. Taking both the conflicting parties onboard through this parallel settlement, Afghanistan’s political climate became calm. There is a general opinion taken by the researcher while doing this research from the experts and practitioners on Afghan politics and the current peace process that this power sharing settlement remains a blessing for ongoing peace process. Both the executives remain intact and engaged in negotiating with Taliban for bringing peace and stability in Afghanistan. The research also presents an analysis of Afghan peace process and the contribution of both Ghani and Abdullah into it.
