Afghanistan's second day of parliamentary elections came to a close as a roadside bomb brought the two-day death toll to over 50.

Despite the Taliban and Islamic State Affiliate warning voters against casting ballots in parliamentary elections, around 4 million of Afghanistan's 8.8 million registered voters have cast their ballots amid violence in regions including capital city, Kabul.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani says: "Afghans did not only show their enemies that they would not surrender to any threats or warnings, but that they also have the power and will to defeat their enemies."
