Protesters close down IEC office in Takhar

22/12/2018

TALUQAN (SW) – The supporters of a number of Wolesi Jirga (lower house) candidates in Takhar on Saturday closed down office of the Independent Election Commission in protest.

The protesters asserted rampant irregularities and rigging have taken place in polls here, and the IEC should recount all votes cast here.

In the meantime, Syed Jalil Syedzada and Kher Mohammad Taimure, two such protesting candidates, said the agitation would continue until their legitimate demands are met. The protesters have also warned to close down other public offices if, according to them, transparency is not ensure and their legitimate rights are not guaranteed to them.

Salam Watandar wished to have the views of the IEC, but to no avail.

ENDS
