Monitoring Desk

BALKH: Former Governor Ishaq Rahgozar will be reappointed as Balkh governor on Thursday at a official ceremony.

 Spokesman of provincial governor, Muneer Farhad told media outlet that Akram Same will also be appointed as the replacement of Sayed Kamal Sadat, the current provincial police chief of Balk.

The development comes a day after ousted governor Atta Mohammad Noor said in his Nawroz speech at the Blue Mosque in Mazar-e-Sharif that he had almost reached a final agreement with the Presidential Palace over the discord between the two and that an announcement would be made soon.

This comes after President Ashraf Ghani accepted Noor’s resignation in December last year. However, Noor said the letter was outdated and he refused to step down until a list of demands by Jamiat-e-Islami Party of Afghanistan was met.
