KABUL: Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah on Tuesday threatened to pull out of an audit of votes cast in the election, a move that could wreck UN efforts to rescue the country´s first democratic transfer of power.
"If they accept our demands by tomorrow morning we will continue the process, if not, we will withdraw from the process and consider it finished," Fazel Ahmad Manawi, a senior member of Abdullah´s campaign team, told reporters.
He said Abdullah´s demands over how fraudulent votes would be thrown out had been ignored.
