Kabul, Sha'ban 16, 1435, Jun 14, 2014, SPA -- More than 7 million Afghans voted in the run-off for the new president, the Elections Commission chief says in announcing an unexpectedly high turnout, according to dpa. It was better than the first round's turnout, which was 6.6 million after 400,000 ballots were thrown out as fraudulent. Thirty-eight per cent of those who voted Saturday were women, Yousuf Nooristani says in a national televised address. -- SPA 18:25 LOCAL TIME 15:25 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1243674
