<p><a href="/en/afganistan/kabul" class="glossify-link">KABUL</a> (Pajhwok): Over a hundred supporters of unsuccessful candidates staged a rally at the Pashtunistan Watt in downtown Kabul, blocking traffic for about six hours before they were dispersed by spraying water.</p>
<p>The protestors were demanding invalidation of all Kabul votes and conducting re-elections. They further warned to close entry points to Kabul if their demands were not addressed.</p>
<p>The Independent Election Commission has announced final results of the Oct <a href="/en/wolesi-jirga" class="glossify-link">Wolesi Jirga</a> elections from 18 provinces and has pledged to announce the final results from the remaining provinces until March 6.</p>
<p>The protestors who closed many roads caused traffic disruption in the already crowded area.</p>
<p>Hassan Jan Dawlatzai, one of the protestors, alleged massive corruption, fraud and rigging had happened in the October 20 polls and said he had evidence to prove his claims.</p>
<p>The protestors wanted to erect a protest tent in the Pashunistan Watt, but security forces did not allow them and finally police sprayed water to disperse them.</p>
<p>Police spokesman Basir Mujahid said the protestors without informing police had closed the Pashunistan square for traffic and wanted to erect a tent which was not allowed by police.</p>
