An Afghan presidential candidate, Abdullah Abdullah on Thursday again called for holding a transparent election in the war-torn country, warning people of Afghanistan will not accept forgery and fabricated result of the coming presidential polls.

"The power of vote will change the country. This year election is a historic event in Afghanistan but the Afghans will not allow irregularities and fraud in the forthcoming polls," Abdullah told the audience in a public gathering attended by thousands of his supporters during an election campaign held here.

The Afghanistan's third presidential and provincial council election is slated for April 5 this year. Political campaign by presidential candidates officially started on Feb. 2 and will close on April 2 or 48 hours before the Election Day.

The former foreign minister, Abdullah, who challenged the serving President Hamid Karzai in the 2009 presidential elections, in his address also promised to enforce laws equally, maintaining security, ensuring good governance, strictly fighting corruption, alleviating poverty, creating jobs and strengthening relations with the international community on the basis of mutual respect.

The Afghan Peace Council Chairman Salauddin Rabbani, at the same event, called on Afghans to use their franchise to elect their new president.

Abdullah, the leader of a main political party, the National Coalition Party of Afghanistan, also warned that the upcoming elections should be fair and transparent; otherwise the result " won't be acceptable."

The comments came as the country's election commission officials said that enormous measures had been put in place to prevent any irregularities and fraud during the general elections.

Announcing his programs, Abdullah promised to create job opportunities, revive the country's economy and work to ensure viable peace and security for the nation.

By holding meetings and posting posters and billboards on the streets of the capital, other presidential runners have also kicked off their campaign for the next Afghan presidential elections to secure the top slot of the militancy-plagued country.

Up to 11 contenders, including several former ministers and other politicians, registered their names to compete for the country's top slot.
