KABUL (Pajhwok): The two-month long electoral campaign period for Saturday’s presidential election will come to an end tonight, the Independent Election Commission (IEC) said on Wednesday.
Abdul Aziz Ibrahimi, IEC spokesman, told Pajhwok Afghan News no candidate would have the right to campaign beyond midnight tonight and legal action would be taken against offenders.
The presidential election campaign  began across the country on July 28 and continued for two months.
Ibrahimi added that the two-month period would come to an end at 12am tonight.
He urged all presidential candidates to collect their electoral posts as early as possible and warned of legal action over violations of law during the silence period. He said they were fully prepared to hold the next week’s election.
Ibrahimi said the IEC had distributed observation cards among 170 national and international institutions.
