The streets of Kabul are alive with celebration.

It's now official -- the new president-elect is Ashraf Ghani. And his supporters couldn't be happier with the announcement.

(SOUNDBITE) (Pashto) SUPPORTER OF ASHRAF GHANI, HABIB UL- RAHMAN, SAYING:

"We congratulate Ashraf Ghani and his opponent Abdullah on the formation of a national unity government and we hope to have a peaceful government in the future."

Under the terms of the deal, Ghani will share power with a chief executive proposed by Abdullah.

It ends months of turmoil over the disputed election that destabilized the country.

And tonight, brings song to the streets.
