Reuters exclusively reports Afghan president, rejecting U.S. peace plan, to offer election in six months

Reuters exclusively reported that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani will propose a new presidential election within six months under a peace plan he will put forward as a counter-offer to a U.S. proposal that he rejects. Ghani will unveil his proposal at an international gathering in Turkey next month, signaling his refusal to accept Washington’s plan for his elected government to be replaced by an interim administration, two senior government officials told Reuters.
