Fraud declared in Afghanistan election by UN investigators
Kazakhstan News.Net
Monday 19th October, 2009
The UN backed commission investigating fraud in the Afghan presidential poll has ordered the invalidation of results from 210 polling stations.
A second round of voting may now be on the cards, after evidence discoverd by the Electoral Complaints Commission.
The Commission has said it discovered clear and convincing evidence of fraud after its nearly two-month-long investigation into Afghanistan's August 20th poll.
A certain percentage of each candidate's votes have been ordered to be scapped by the commission.
UN officials have said they are now expecting an announcement from the Independent Election Commission of a final certified result or the requirement for a second round of voting.
Preliminary results from the election showed Afghan President Hamid Karzai winning with 54 percent.
His nearest rival, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, had 28 percent.
Karzai officials have said they will await a ruling from election officials before making a statement.
Mr Karzai's election team has previously criticised the Electoral Complaints Commission procedure for collecting voting information.
Most of the fraudulent ballots are believed to benefit the Afghan president.  Email this story to a friend

Take time and call the winner to share little seats or use media
Mr Karzai has lost his popularity within Afghanistan and failed to keep safety. Even WARDAK (just near to kabul) is now unsafe. Afghani decided to replace Mr Karzai but UN instead of taking clear image in this has shown once again his love with US by removing one of his member who tried to open the fraud made by ruling government.
