Kabul, Apr 9 (RHC), – A supervisory body of Afghanistan's presidential election says there may have been a significant amount of irregularities in the last weekend's landmark vote.

The country's election complaints commission said on Wednesday that all votes cast irregularly would be thrown out.

According to Abdul Satar Sadaat, the head of Afghanistan's independent election complaints commission, they have received over 3,000 reports of violations related to the presidential election, mainly regarding the work of election commission workers.

The final result is not expected for weeks as ballot boxes have to be returned to the capital, Kabul, from remote corners of the country.

The supervisory body added that unless there is an outright winner with more than 50 percent of the vote, there will be a run-off between the two leading candidates at the end of May.
