During his speech, Ghani also promised to continue the national reconciliation policy for achieving durable peace in the country and called on Taliban militants to join the peace process and resume their normal life.

"There is a need for profound negotiations and talks with Taliban," he said.

"We will form a coalition for peace and unity that would be 10 times more powerful than the coalition of war against us. Our strength has always been in our unity," he said.

Ghani noted that he would unveil the lineup of his government within two weeks that will be submitted to the parliament for approval.

At the same time, government Chief Executive Abdullah held a parallel oath taking ceremony in the nearby Sapedar Palace.

"Today I am the president, and the servant of all of you. Without any discrimination, I will be in the service of all people," Abdullah told the audience.

On Feb. 18, Afghanistan's election commission announced the final results of the Sept. 28, 2019 presidential poll and declared incumbent President Ghani as the winner.

Abdullah rejected the results and vowed to form a parallel inclusive government.

The election commission said that Ghani secured 50.64 percent of the votes, winning a second term, and Abdullah came in the second place with 39.52 percent of the votes.

More than 1.9 million out of 9.4 million registered voters cast their ballots in the presidential election, the fourth in Afghanistan since the collapse of the Taliban regime in late 2001.
