Officials from the Independent Election Commission (IEC) on Wednesday announced they are nearly done with the recount of votes in seven provinces and said that the calls for a new recount of votes in the previously-counted 27 provinces is not practical.

This comes a day after the Solidarity and Convergence team led by presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah announced that it will not accept the election results unless the IEC undertakes to recount votes in the 27 provinces that it had already completed without the presence of Abdullah’s observers.
