Illiberal Regime: Democracy, Afghanistyle

On September 27, The Economist the published an article titled: Democracy, Afghan-style.  It talked about changes happening the executive branch in the country of Afghanistan.  Elections in June fell under investigation after the losing candidate, Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, claimed fraud on behave of his opponent Ashraf Ghani.  The investigation was overseen by the United Nations and the results were not made public, so it can be assumed that fraud was committed by both parties.  Like any other illiberal regime--which is how Afghanistan can be categorized--it appears to be a democracy on paper, but whose practices are questionable.
