United Nations, New York, 24 August 2009 - The Secretary-Generals Special Representative for Afghanistan, Kai Eide, today urged all the candidates in last weeks elections, their supporters, and voters to be patient, so that the Electoral Complaints Commission can carry out its work and make decisions on the complaints that have been received. You must respect this process, he said while visiting the Commissions headquarters in Kabul. Respect also means demonstrating patience.
