CRI听力:Afghan's Election Commission Ready to Audit All Votes

Afghanistan's election commission is welcoming an agreement between presidential candidates Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah to audit all the votes from the June 14th election.

Commission chief Ahmad Nouristani says his group is ready to start auditing all eight million votes cast as soon as possible.

"In three weeks time the auditing will be completed and the results will be announced. As the two candidates agreed, these results must be accepted by both candidates."

The UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for Afghanistan is Jan Kubis.

"IEC (Independent Election Commission) will follow the rules and regulations of the IEC. That will be done in a very, very massive domestic and international observation, with participation of both presidential candidates' campaigns, their agents, their observers to insure the fullest credibility and integrity of this audit."

Preliminary results show former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani has won the runoff.

But Abdullah contends Ghani's supporters stuffed the ballot box.

Both contenders have agreed to respect the results of the following meetings with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry over the weekend
