20 May 2014 The top United Nations official in Afghanistan today welcomed the release of preliminary results in the countrys provincial council election and lauded the real community engagement seen in the polls.

The Provincial Councils are Constitutionally-mandated bodies and an important element of Afghan democracy they bring the principle of accountable democracy and governance beyond Kabul to the provinces, said Secretary-Generals Special Representative for Afghanistan Jn Kubi.

Each of Afghanistans 34 provinces hosts a provincial council which is mandated to participate in attainment of the development objectives of the state and improvement of the affairs of the province.

Real community engagement was seen in the provincial council elections, which positively contributed to a high level of participation in the 2014 elections, added Mr. Kubi, who is also the head of the UN mission in the country (UNAMA).

The Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan (IEC) today announced the release of the results from the 5 April vote. Candidates have 24 hours to file their complaints against the preliminary vote results. The IEC is scheduled to announce the final results on 7 June, after the adjudication of the electoral complaints by the Independent Electoral Complaints Commission (IECC).

It is now extremely important that the IECC continues to carry out its obligations to address complaints from the Provincial Council elections in an expeditious and transparent manner, said Mr. Kubi.

For their part, the candidates must also display patience and respect of the process, he added, urging any complaints to be addressed to the appropriate legal institutions.

MANILA, Philippines Without Phil Younghusband and Rob Gier in their lineup, the Philippine National Men's Football Team settled for a scoreless draw in their 2014 AFC Challenge Cup opening match against Afghanistan, Tuesday night, May 20 (midnight in Manila) at the Hithadoo Stadium in Addu City, Maldives.

Both sides' defense were tested as the Azkals and the Afghans had several good looks at goal all night-long but the match which was delayed by an hour due to bad weather still ended in a scoreless deadlock.

Afghanistan dictated the tempo early on as they kept the Philippine backline on their toes with threatening runs down the flanks.

The Azkals, however, answered back with counterattacks with Stephan Schrock's 13th minute attempt going straight into the mitts of the Afghan goalkeeper.

The Philippines, however, was dealt a blow in the 20th as Chris Greatwich, who was a last-minute replacement to Paul Mulders in the starting lineup, had to call it a night with a lot of time left after he sustained an injury in a tussle with an Afghan midfielder.

Schrock once again came close to scoring in the half-hour mark as he lobbed one from 40 yards out but his shot grazed just inches above the crossbar.

It was a busy first half for Neil Etheridge in between the sticks as Afghanistan fired shot after shot approaching halftime but the Fulham keeper held on to keep the Philippines level, 0-0, at the break.

With both squads wanting to kickoff their campaign with a win, physicality ensued in the second half as players went down the pitch but the Philippines put up a better showing with Martin Steuble, Ruben Doctora, Patrick Reichelt and Schrock having good attempts at goal.
