Row over Afghan elections hots up
Updated on 28 August 2009
The US special envoy to Afghanistan had a heated row with President Hamid Karzai over the alleged use of fraud in last week's election, according to reports.
Richard Holbrooke is said to have complained to the President about the use of ballot-stuffing and suggested that a second round to the elections would increase the credibility of the Afghan democratic process.
Mr Karzai reportedly reacted angrily to the accusations last Friday.
