AlQa'dah 2, 1435, Aug 28, 2014, SPA -- Afghanistan's U.N. representative told President Hamid Karzai Thursday that it was "not possible" to finish an audit of a disputed election by September 2, when Karzai had hoped to see a new leader inaugurated, the president's office said. The United Nations is supervising the audit of votes from a run-off ballot between the two candidates, Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani. They have both claimed victory in the election intended to mark the country's first democratic transfer of power. "The envoy said he is hopeful that the audit process will end by September 10," Karzai's office said in a statement.
