Caption/Description

Aside from complaints of fraud, focused on indelible ink used to mark the thumb of each voter after they cast their ballot, Afghanistan's first presidential election showed the enthusiasm of thousands of Afghans thrilled to be a part of the democratic process. Supporters and security surround the mosque that hosted a rally for Mohammed Mohaqiq, one of the candidates running for President in Afghanistan.
