Afghan poll a chance for change or more of the same, Reuters (2010)
This article discusses the political situation in Afghanistan in preparation for the upcoming elections. 17.5 million registered voters can cast their ballots on September 18, but the expected turnout is very low. 2,500 candidates are competing for the 249 seats in the lower house (Walesi Jirga). Security is still a major issue in the country, despite the presence of almost 150,00 foreign troops.
