Amrullah Saleh Says He Is Afghanistan’s Legitimate Acting President (FILE)
Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh said on Twitter on Tuesday that he is in Afghanistan and is the “legitimate interim president”.
Clarity: According to Afg statutes, in the absence, escape, resignation, or death of the president, the FVP becomes the acting president. I am currently in my country and am the legitimate president of the caretaker. I am contacting all leaders to gain their support and consensus.

Saleh said last week after a security meeting chaired by then-President Ashraf Ghani that he was proud of the armed forces and that the government would do everything it could to strengthen resistance to the Taliban.
