The president said the political problems have been solved to a great extent and thanked his advisers for their efforts in this regard. He also welcomed the political parties for their farsightedness and wisdom.
“I believe the political parties will demonstrate more restraint, mutual respect, tolerance and compassion,” the chief adviser said, expecting that it will contribute to establishing peace, discipline and stability needed for creating a pro-election environment.
He sought all-out cooperation of the political parties in ensuring free, fair, peaceful and neutral elections.
At the same time, he asked the law enforcement agencies to ensure security of public life to create a peaceful election atmosphere.
“If necessary, armed forces will be deployed in aid of civil administration for the sake of fair, neutral and peaceful elections,” he said.

He urged the officials and employees of the republic to discharge their duties with maximum neutrality and objectivity rising above all fears, pressures, greed and influence.
