Abduction of candidates rocks Afghanistan election, The Herald Scotland (2010)

This article reports on the abduction of 19 poll workers and one candidate on the eve of the Afghan parliamentary election. Widespread intimidation seriously undermined the credibility of the elections. Furthermore, the low turnout was one of the major issue. On election day, Staffan de Mistura talked of 5-7 million votes cast, but recent reports on the Independent Election Commission reported even a lower number (3.9 million).
