Abdullah Abdullah, who lost the presidential race against Hamid Karzai in 2009, has not yet officially declared his candidacy. According to some news agencies, he is not certain if he should take the risk again. Abdullah Abdullah mentioned in April that despite constitutional restraints preventing Hamid Karzai from running, the Karzai family will not give up its power without a fight.
أوضح عبد الله عبد الله أنه بالرغم من القيود التي يفرضها الدستور التي تمنع حامد كارزاي بالتالي من الترشح للرئاسة فإن عائلته لن تسلم السلطة دون خوض معركة.
