KABUL — Major fraud complaints in the presidential election surged Sunday to nearly 700, raising concern that the volume of cases to be investigated will delay announcing a winner and formation of a government.
President Hamid Karzai is leading with 46.2 percent of votes from the Aug. 20 ballot, followed by ex-Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah with 31.4 percent, according to official figures from 35 percent of the polling stations. A candidate must win more than half the votes to avoid a runoff.
