President Ashraf Ghani’s running mate as his first vice president in the upcoming presidential election, Amrullah Saleh, said on Thursday that the peace negotiating team will not have decision-making authority and that a 15-member team cannot make a decision on a national issue.

The negotiating team, according to government officials, will attend intra-Afghan negotiations which will begin after the US and the Taliban sign an agreement which still needs US President Donald Trump’s approval.
