We should remian neutral and congrats both sides
Pretty sure Pakistan would have done that if, unlike other external powers, Pakistan had the choice. But there is no other external player more important in Afghanistan's affairs than Pakistan and so Pakistan had to make a move. Unlike other countries, who are pretty quiet about the two Presidents electing themselves in Afghanistan at the same time (wow!), Pakistan had to make a pawn-move...and Pakistan did. And I bet the move was done with the American input.
Now... as it is the classic in Afghanistan--there are deals behind deals, backstabbing behind hugging, hugging behind backstabbing... so who really knows how Pakistan and Mr. Abdullah are going to work together; there are elements in Pakistan who think that Abdullah is far more legit than Ghani.
There is a lot of smoke screen. But we shall know soon. The current situation in Afghanistan can't last long. This is like going back to the late 1970s before the Soviets were 'invited' to Afghanistan.
