The stakes could not be higher. Afghanistan faces an historic presidential election on June 14 with a runoff between frontrunners Dr. Ashraf Ghani and Dr. Abdullah Abdullah. 

 

We chatted with candidate Dr. Ashraf Ghani via Skype from Herat, Afghanistan on May 30.

(The Atlantic Council has also invited Dr. Abdullah to participate in a similar conversation, but he has not yet responded.

UPDATE: We held a Skype conversation with Dr. Abdullah Abdullah on June 12.)

The below Storify is a curated look at the social media discussion that accompanied the event.
