The Independent Election Commission (IEC) on Thursday said that it has completed the verification process and invalidation of fraudulent votes in the 34 provinces of the country.

“The process of recount, invalidation and verification of votes has been completed in 34 provinces in the presence of observers of the presidential candidates and representatives of the Electoral Complaints Commission,” the Independent Election Commission tweeted.

This comes as the Stability and Convergence election campaign team, led by presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah, has threatened to reject the announcement of election results by the IEC unless it recount the votes in 27 provinces that the commission had already completed without the presence of Abdullah’s observers.
