Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah criticized the Independent Election Commission (IEC) for delay in announcing the results of Kabul parliamentary elections and said he hopes the results will be announced soon.

“The parliamentary elections results have not been announced unfortunately. The parliamentary elections faced problems but yet we hope that the new Afghan parliament will be a step forward in consolidating rule of law and political stability in the country,” Abdullah said at the Council of Ministers meeting on Monday.

Abdullah once again rejected reports which say presidential elections were delayed for peace talks.
