Afghan election commission orders recounts
None
Afghanistan's election commission has ordered a recount of votes in some areas for recent parliamentary elections, a senior official said Sunday, raising further concerns of misconduct and fraud during the polls.
Election commission Chairman Fazel Ahmad Manawi said recounts have been ordered in parts of at least seven provinces. He said the number of places subject to recounts was expected to increase because not all results have been fully examined. He said the votes under question would be recounted under the supervision of his commission and the electoral complaints commission, along with national and international observers. (AP)
