‘Some candidates trying to buy election observers’

· 3 min read · 229 views

KABUL (Pajhwok): A number of election observers on Sunday claimed rejecting money offered by candidates in return for working in their interest.

They feared Wolesi Jirga candidates could possibly pay money to election watchdogs for using them in their own interest.

However, officials say many election watchdogs may not be tasked with observing the Oct 20 parliamentary elections due to a reduced international community’s financial assistance.
