Hamid Karzai's Election Campaign Team believes today's announcement of the number of suspected votes by the Head and Deputy Head of EU Election Monitoring Commission is partial, irresponsible and in contradiction with Afghanistan's constitution.
According to the constitution of Afghanistan, addressing the electoral complaints is the responsibility of the Election Complaints Commission.
As per the Electoral Law of Afghanistan, the role of national and international monitors is to monitor the election process and refer their findings to the Independent Election Commission and the Election Complaints Commission.
Hamid Karzai's Election Campaign Team calls on all national and international institutions to respect the constitution and the votes of the Afghan people and avoid making such partial and irresponsible assertions. We believe the only way we can have a legitimate result out of the current process is to allow the legal institutions to complete the process and refrain from interfering in their affairs.
