Kubis says Afghan Election Process to Conclude in Coming Days
KABUL: (Middle East Press) The UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy for Afghanistan, Jan Kubis has said that some technical aspects of the electoral process have been left which will be concluded in coming days.
The issue was shared during a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai which was also attended by US ambassador to Afghanistan James Cunningham.
“President Hamid Karzai met with the UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy, Jan Kubis and the US Ambassador to Afghanistan, James Cunningham,” the presidential palace said following a statement.
The statement further added, “The meeting was held at the Presidential Palace, where both the UN Special Envoy and the US Ambassador updated President Karzai on the recent progressions in the electoral process.”
The Independent Election Commission (IEC) officials have said they are close to announce the final vote results as the audit process was fully completed on Thursday evening.
However, Abdul Rab Rassoul Sayyaf, a former presidential contender warned Saturday that disclosure of final results in the absence of an agreement would take the country towards an unresolveable crisis and instability.
