By DPA,
Kabul : Election monitors from the European Union Saturday described the Afghan presidential elections as “largely positive”.
Two days after the elections, the European Union Election Observation Mission to Afghanistan, in a statement, welcomed the elections “as a victory against those who wanted to prevent the Afghan people from deciding their own future”.
The mission said the Independent Election Commission “generally functioned efficiently” and that the election process “seems at this stage to have been largely positive.”
The EU mission has about 250 election monitors in the country who are also due to observe the count and the procedures for redressing complaints.
The Election Commission is planning to begin issuing partial results from Tuesday.
