Afghans celebrated the end of a deadlock that had plagued their country's April 5 presidential elections because of the tremendous adverse effects that the impasse had brought onto the nation's economy, security, and the function of the entire state apparatus.
However, the political deal that entails the formation of a "government of national unity" by rival presidential candidates, Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah, is widely seen as a setback in the country's process of democratisation. By brushing aside people's votes, the political elite's deal has disenchanted ordinary citizens and has shaken their confidence in the democratic process.
