Dissatisfaction is mounting in Afghanistan over the parliamentary elections held in September.
Many candidates who took part claim there was widespread fraud and vote-rigging. And as Al Jazeera’s Sue Turton reports from Kabul, the Afghan capital, they are taking to the streets to make their voices heard.
The calls come against a backdrop of continued violence in the country. In the latest attack, five civilians died after their vehicle hit a landmine in Helmand province on Sunday.
Officials said seven others were injured in the blast, including two children. The injured were being treated in hospital.
