In Afghanistan, dozens of sitting MPs and several candidates for parliamentary elections held on September 18 have demanded the poll to be scrapped accusing it of fraud. About 150 protesters took to the streets in the capital Kabul today describing the election as illegal and undemocratic. The demonstrators marched past one of the gates to President Hamid Karzai's palace. The demonstration, which will continue tomorrow, urged the Afghan government, the United Nations, the international community and concerned bodies to take committed actions against fraud charges to ensure the growth of democracy and a brighter future for the Nation. Final results are yet to be announced more than six weeks after the poll with preliminary results throwing out more than 1.3 million fraudulent votes. Around two-third of the sitting MPs have been declared unsuccessful as per the preliminary results. Protestors said this election was unlawful and urged President Karzai to annul it. One candidate accused that some members of the government and election commission were involved in the fraud. The ballot for the lower house of parliament, or Wolesi jirga, went ahead despite a Taliban threat to disrupt it. Final results for the elections depend on adjudication of around seven thousand of complaints filed with electoral complaints commission.
