Zohra Bayan Shinwari, head of the IECC during a press conference on Sunday afternoon urged candidates to file their complaints with full documentation at the commission headquarter or its provincial offices.

“The results are preliminary and any prejudgment should be avoided,” added Ms Shinwari.
The IEC announced the preliminary results of the presidential election on Sunday which President Ashraf Ghani appears set to win a second term.
He secured 50.64% of the vote in the September 28 election.
