UN Special Representative Kubiš calls on IHEC to promptly and thoroughly investigate all complaints concerning the electoral process

“The Commission has to act expeditiously in order to seriously address all complaints including, as necessary, the conduct of partial manual recount in selected locations, notably in Kirkuk. It is important that these are undertaken in full transparency, witnessed by stakeholders, to strengthen the confidence in the process. The UN is ready to provide assistance, if requested,” Mr. Kubiš said.

“I also call on all political actors to uphold the peace and to remain committed to resolving any electoral disputes through the established legal channels,” Mr. Kubiš added.
