[Kabul 29th Reuters]-The Afghan presidential election held on the 28th is expected to see a significant decrease in the number of voters from the 2014 previous election. Election Commissioner Maurana Abdullah, chairman, announced on the 29th.
The low voter turnout will shake up the credibility of the elections and may deepen the country's chaos.
More than 12 people are running for the presidential election, but in effect it is a striking composition between President Gani, who is aiming to be re-elected, and Administration No. 2 Abdullah.
The number of voters who completed registration before the election was 9,670,000. According to the chairman of the election, Abdullah, 3736 out of 4756 polling places nationwide reported the number of votes, and at least 2.2 million people voted.
Approximately 800 polling places have not yet reported the number of voters. In addition, more than 200 polling stations do not even know what the situation is. About 7 million people voted in the last election in 2014.
The tentative results of the election will be announced on October 19, and the final results will be announced on November 7. If none of the candidates can win a majority of votes, a final vote is held by the top two candidates.
Anti-government armed forces Taliban attacked several polling places nationwide before the 28th election. According to the Afghan Analysts Network, there were over 400 attacks on polling stations, mostly small attacks by armed forces.
