Around 10,000 people attended a rally of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in Jalalabad on Friday, eight days ahead of presidential elections on September 28.
"All Afghan people want a transparent election in which we can select a patriot president that can focus on peace because Afghans are tired of war," Ghani supporter Husna Ahmadzai said. "All Afghans are thirsty for peace."
"We will cast our vote for Ghani, he will work for peace because we want peace," said Ghani supporter Zakia. "We don't want these bloody situations, we lost our sons, all of the youths of our country were killed."
The upcoming election is the country's fourth presidential poll since United States-led forces toppled the Taliban in 2001.
Around 9.6 million people, roughly a third of them women, have reportedly registered to vote, but around one in twelve polling centres may not open because of safety threats.
On Tuesday, at least 26 people were killed when a suicide bomber attacked a Ghani rally in the town of Charikar, Parwan province.
