UN says fears of unfair Afghan poll are well-founded

Opposition fears of an unfair election in Afghanistan this year are well-founded, and a rigged poll would unleash a wave of political instability, a top UN envoy warned the Afghan government on Thursday.

 

"All involved - the government, the opposition, and the international community - must understand the costs of a flawed and unfair election process," Kai Eide, the UN Special Envoy to Afghanistan, told the Security Council during a debate on the country. (Reuters)
