Candidates of presidential election or any other election, normally introduce their aims and programs during the election campaigning. They tell their planning and programs for the country. According the international norms and rules, the best candidate of election is the one who has the best and most comprehensive and practical programs for the progress, betterment, and improvement of the country. For example, in Afghanistan the best candidate for presidential election should be the one who really have effective, logical and practical programs for ending the war and security problem in this country, he or she should have the best programs for economical, political, social, and cultural progress of Afghanistan. He/she must be having practical programs for provision of educational opportunity, and health facility for the people. The best nominee of presidential election in Afghanistan is the one who has practical program and solution for solving the security issue, the top and the most important issue in Afghanistan.

But unfortunately none of the candidates of presidential election in Afghanistan have introduced a practical, precise and comprehensive solution to the war against Taliban or terrorism. Mr. Hamid Karzai is repeating the words and speeches of his past days. The most important slogan of president Karzai is, Afghanistan for all Afghans. This slogan is not as glittering and attractive as it was in the past, the people of Afghanistan have got aware and they have woken up, the chance of going power into hand of a special ethnic, is too little here now. I have to write with regret that some of other candidates are also shouting slogans of the same theme. Most of them are just criticizing the way Mr. Karzai has ruled during the past years.

Mr. Bashar Dost a westerned-educated member of parliament, outspoken and technocrat who also has nominated himself for this election, is the only candidate with detailed political, social and economical programs for the country, but he has failed to give a precise solution for ending the bloody conflict of the country. Some of the politicians accuse him of arbitrary, abstract and autocratic ideas and thoughts that they think is not feasible to be taken into practice. However most of the commoners and educated class among the residents of capital believe that Mr. Bashar Dost is the most honest man among the candidates. They say, Bashar Dost is the only nominee who is not about to get wealth in the name and shade of election.

Whatever has been done in the political deal of Mr. Karzai with former Jehadi leader has disappointed most of the common people and elites in Afghanistan. He has been reported to have promised ministries and high official posts of next government to his new and former allies. People of Afghanistan say that all decision, deals and election campaigning of the candidates must be in accordance with principals of national interest not private benefit of persons. Mr. Karzai as mostly thought to be the winner of coming election should not forget his pledges to people of Afghanistan. Whoever wins the race from candidates should not forget that he/she is the president of Afghanistan not the president of a particular group, ethnic, or political party. He must be looking deeply into matters and control his ministers from nepotism, corruption, and negligence.
Afghanistan is a country which needs extraordinary attention, devotion and sacrifice. It needs not to be looted and ignored again; it must be repaired, reconstructed, rebuilt and treated with affection and passion. The people here have suffered very much and they need a leader to serve them.
Some of the candidates giving promises that seem really impractical and people are sure that at least for now those promises are impossible to take place. Dr. Abdullah is speaking from system change, while mostly the people believe that current system is democratic, modern and Islamic. Rulers should change their behavior, policies and actions. Some are talking to remove bribe, corruption, and nepotism, while they themselves are reported to be resigning from presidential nomination in favor of other candidate for getting money. Some of the printed media in Kabul are extravagantly praising some of the candidates and propagating against rival nominees in most brazen and shameful way.
