Washington, Oct 23 (IBNS):  US Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday congratulated Afghanistan and its president Ashraf Ghani for successful Wolesi Jirga elections.

Pence spoke to him over the phone.

Pence congratulated the Afghan people on the steady advance of democracy following the parliamentary elections this past weekend. 

"He commended the Afghan election officials and military for leading and managing the electoral process, and U.S. and international forces for their support to the Afghan government. Despite efforts by the Taliban to intimidate the Afghan people, millions of people stepped forward to make their voice heard by voting," read a statement issued by the White House.

Polling for the elections was held recently in the country.
