Afghanistan election results in doubt

The main rival to President Hamid Karzai, Abdullah Abdullah, on Friday accused the government of exploiting the court to modify the results of legislative elections of 18 September, marked by a decline in the presidential camp by analysts.

A quarter of the votes cast at the September 18 elections have been invalidated by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), which also disqualified 24 candidates declared winners by the preliminary results.(AFP)
