MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Four people tasked to observe the ballot process of a candidate have been killed after they were kidnapped in the Nahr-i-Shahi district of northern Balkh province, officials said on Sunday.
Afzal Hadid, a member of provincial council, told Pajhwok Afghan News the four young men served as observers for Israr Tashqurghani, a Wolesi Jirga runner.
He said the observers had been gone to Afghania Township to observe the voting process but lost their way in return.
