Some 200 of about 3854 complaints, that the ECC has received, have been decided upon, said the front man for ECC, Ahmad Zia Rafat. "In order to bring an end to the investigations, names of candidates involved in electoral fraud will be declared and will also be introduced to judiciary organisations," Mr Rafat said. The ECC said 25 elections candidates are fined 50,000 Afs ($1000) for a late submission of their financial reports to the Independent Election Commission. "Around 3516 of all the received complaints have been categorised," he said. Following strict filtrations to avoid forged ballots to be counted, votes in around ten polling stations in Uruzgan province and ten other stations in Kabul, the Afghan Capital, have been declared invalid, said ECC. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... an Afghan security official insisting on anonymity said in Khost province that the provincial head of IEC was detained by security forces for alleged involvement in electoral fraud. |
