TAKANI: Runoff Will Face Delays: IEC

Independent Election Commission (IEC) Chairman Ahmad Yusuf Nuristani admitted on Wednesday that the runoff round expected between Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai could face delays.

A runoff is required by Afghan law if no presidential candidate gets over 50 percent of votes in the first round. As of now, no one has passed that threshold. Although the runoff round was originally scheduled for May 28, election officials have said a number of setbacks have made it more likely that the round will be delayed.

Mr. Nuristani cited the Taliban's attack on the IEC's headquarters in Kabul as the cause of the delay.

In this episode of Takani, host Shapoor Bakhtiyar discusses the issue with the following guests:

Mohammad Noman Shenwari, Dr. Ashraf Ghani-Ahmadzai’s campaign member

Kamal Nasir Osole, MP

Fazl Rahman Oria, Dr. Abdullah Abdullah’s campaign member

Samiullah Samim, MP
