The vice president of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan was the second highest
political position attainable in the
Islamic Republic of Afghanistan . The vice presidents were elected on the same ticket as the
president . A presidential candidate was responsible for nominating two candidates for vice president before the election.
Although Sardar Mohammad Dawood Khan was the founder of the Republic in Afghanistan and the first president of Afghanistan;
[1] however, the position of Vice president was, for the first time, created in Afghanistan by King
Amanullah Khan when he declared a constitutional monarchy in 1926 and established the position of "Yawar" (later " Deputy") and appointed Mahmoud Khan Shaghasi as the "First Deputy Assistant" (later "Vice president") as the first appointee of this position.
