YJI Senior Reporter Edrees Kakar, who lives and works in Kabul, Afghanistan, took these photos there on the day of the Afghan parliamentary election last week. Unfortunately because of a family health emergency, we were unable to post them until today, but they still give the flavor of the fervor of the race. Kakar also wrote a piece about the election, which will be added online tomorrow. We apologize for the delay, but hope readers will understand and find the photos and report by Kakar of interest. — Jackie Majerus, YJI
