Presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah has rejected the preliminary result of Afghan presidential elections announced on Sunday as "fraudulent" and unacceptable.

The Transparent Election Foundation of Afghanistan (TEFA) says the decision of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) for recounting the Presidential election votes is contrary against the 19th article of the amended election law.

Abdullah Abdullah’s electoral team says that 137,000 votes registered in the election commission’s data bank, are not valid.

An election crisis is simmering in Afghanistan as preliminary results have not been announced even a month after the landmark polls and as the insurgency rages on.

Post-election atmosphere in Afghanistan remains volatile due to political tensions and election fraud allegations. 

 Afghanistan's Independent Election Commission (IEC) said Saturday that it had postponed the release of the preliminary results of the presidential election held on Sept. 28.

The “Stability and Partnership” electoral team has said that it will not let anyone violate the election law, including the Independent Election Commission (IEC).

The head of Transparent Election Foundation of Afghanistan (TEFA), a Kabul-based election monitoring organization, claimed on Wednesday that he is threatened to death by the ruling electoral team.

The Presidential Candidates Council has stressed that the non-biometric votes will not be accepted.

The “Stability and Partnership” electoral team says the first round of Presidential election will have a winner and it will not go to a second round.

The officials of the Independent Electoral Complaints Commission (IECC) said that 4367 complaints have been registered in the commission.

A number of national figures and Jihadi leaders have issued a statement, saying ‘Peace’ is a major issue which should be at the top of national agendas.

During an unannounced stop in Kabul, Pompeo says "the hour has come for peace" in America’s longest running war.

Afghanistan’s Independent Election Commission (IEC) on Saturday said that it will start the biometric enrolment of all eligible voters on May 16.

Russia has claimed that Afghanistan’s presidential elections were postponed from April to July due to pressure from the United States.

The Independent Election Commission (IEC) says it has sent a draft of the budget required for the coming presidential elections to the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and that the organization is yet to give a response in this regard.
