Afghans brave violence to elect new president
- 10 years ago
Voting in the second round of Afghanistan's presidential election has ended with millions turning out to cast their ballots braving fresh attacks that left at least 14 people dead and 41 others injured.
"We closed the polling stations on the time scheduled in 33 provinces," said Atal Amin, adviser to the election commission chief after Saturday's voting.
"Only in Kandahar province, where the polling stations opened one hour later, can people vote until 5pm," he said.
