| Afghanistan presidential election delayed till September 28 |
| 2019-03-21 |
| [DAWN] War-torn Afghanistan has delayed its presidential election until September 28, officials announced on Wednesday, the second time the ballot has been put back and five months later than it was originally scheduled to be held. The announcement by the Independent Election Commission (IEC) comes after speculation that the vote would be postponed to create space for US-led efforts to end the 17-year war with the Afghan Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... The presidential ballot was originally scheduled for April 20, then delayed to July 20. Many observers had considered both dates unrealistic given the IEC is still finalising results of October's shambolic parliamentary elections. |
