Part of the agreement was the review of every vote cast in the runoff, a process that continued this week despite a shaky start and confusion over the criteria for invalidating ballots.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement also called for the formation of a so-called national unity government involving the losing candidate. Under the deal, the candidate who loses the runoff would be allowed to pick an individual to serve in a \u201cchief executive\u201d position. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yet another win for John Kerry &#8211; he struck a deal between the two parties and now he has to strike another deal with them. I&#8217;m sure the picture posted above will influence them to take Kerry&#8217;s advice. In fact, the only reason I wrote this post was so I could post the picture of Kerry on a pink girl&#8217;s bicycle. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stars &#038; Stripes reports that John Kerry, our Secretary of State was in Kabul yesterday to &hellip; <a title=\"Kerry in Kabul to kick loose election stalemate\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=54420\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Kerry in Kabul to kick loose election stalemate<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[175],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-john-kerry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=54420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54420\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=54420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=54420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=54420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
