Afghanistan: Abdullah’s team sets deadline for conditions, warns to boycott audit process

The electoral team of Dr. Abdullah Abdullah has once again warned to boycott the ballots audit and invalidation process along with negotiations to form national unity government, if their demands are not met by the election commission.

Syed Fazel Sancharaki, spokesman for Dr. Abdullah, told reporters on Monday that they will entirely boycott the audit and invalidation process and negotiations over national unity government if their demands and conditions were not met by tomorrow. Sancharaki further added that their camp will only agree to form a national unity government once the audit process has been finalized.

Dr. Abdullah’s camp threatened to boycott the election audit process last week and set conditions for audit and invalidation process.

Abdullah’s chief observer, Fazal Ahmad Mawani, warned on Tuesday that they boycott the vote audit process, claiming that the audit process was not transparent and influenced by politics.

The audit process was resumed following hours of suspension on the same day, after Dr. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai’s camp pulled all it’s observers from the audit process based on United Nation’s request.

The request by UN was made after Dr. Abdullah’s observers did not participate in the audit process a day after they warned to boycott the process.
