‘Vote riggers’ paid Dermalog USD 27 million bribe, claims Hekmatyar

Speaking at press conference today, Monday, November 11, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the leader of Hizb-e-Islami, who is running for the 2019 presidential election, said that recounting of 300,000 votes by the Independent Election Commission (IEC) is not acceptable for him. If these 300,000 votes are not counted, the total vote cast in the 2019 presidential election will make one million and 500,000.          

Mr. Hekmatyar claimed that almost 44 percent of the votes counted by the IEC are fake. Recounting of votes in over 800 polling stations is not acceptable for him, he stressed.
