Ghani retains lead as Afghan vote audit continues | Pakistan Today
As many as 1,170, 107 votes cast for the Ghani-led Change Continuity team were scrutinised till Monday and 54,505 ballots were found fraudulent. Similarly, 1,060,709 votes of the Abdullah-headed Reform and Unanimity team were reassessed and 31,857 declared factitious.
The figures indicate that most of Ghani’s bogus votes have come from nine polling sites, where more than 500 ballots were declared forged at each site. Four of these sites are located in Panjwai District, Kandahar.
Three such sites are in Afghanistan’s south-eastern Paktika province, where 595 votes from a polling station in Barmal, 546 in Sar Rawza and 590 in Orgun districts were adjudged fake.
