KABUL: Afghanistan's President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani has left the country, local TV channel Tolo News TV reported on Sunday.
Xinhua reported that no Afghan government official was available to comment on the report.
Afghan acting Interior Minister Abdul Sattar Mirzakwal previously said on Sunday that "power will be peacefully transferred to a transitional government", local media reported.
"It is agreed that power will be transferred in a peaceful manner to a transitional administration," he said in a televised message broadcast in local media.
"People should not worry about the safety and security in Kabul," he said after chaos and disorder in parts of the city which were caused by rumors that Taliban had entered the city.
