Afghan election workers count votes at their computer terminals at the Independent Election Commission (IEC) headquarters in Kabul on June 16, 2014.Afghan officials opened an investigation after front-running presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah made fraud claims that could threaten a smooth transition of power during a pivotal year. Abdullah demanded the sacking of Zia-ul-Haq Amarkhail, head of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) secretariat, over an alleged attempt by Amarkhail to remove unused ballots from the IEC headquarters on polling day. Abdullah also said the IEC's turnout figure of seven million voters in the run-off election was probably false. The allegations put former foreign minister Abdullah in direct conflict with election authorities as counting got underway after the second-round vote pitting him against ex-World Bank economist Ashraf Ghani.
