Clarifying his position at a news discussion in Kabul on Sunday, Kai Eide admitted that the August 20 vote was marred by "widespread fraud."
Eide, the special representative of the secretary-general for the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), called the accusation against him "personal attacks against me and my honesty" by his recently fired deputy, Peter Galbraith.
"Some of these allegations are based on private discussion whilst he was a guest in my home for two months," the Norwegian diplomat said, referring to Galbraith. "My view is that private discussions around the dinner table remain just that: private."
Eide defended his decisions to open as many polling stations as possible, despite security concerns; denied allegations that he refused to share information with the Afghan electoral officials; and rebuked allegations that he "accepted that the IEC (Independent Electoral Commission) dropped its safeguards in order to bring President (Hamid) Karzai above 50 percent."
