Ghani wins Afghan poll
Print Edition
FORMER World Bank economist Ashraf Ghani won Afghanistan’s presidential election, according to preliminary results released yesterday, with 56.4 percent of the run-off vote to Abdullah Abdullah's 43.5 percent.
Officials said the turnout was more than 8 million in the June 14 vote out of an estimated electorate of 13.5 million voters — far higher than expected, and a figure likely to trigger further claims of fraud from both sides.
“The IEC (Independent Election Commission) admits that despite best efforts for a better election, there were some technical mistakes and shortcomings in the process,” IEC head Ahmad Yusuf Nuristani told reporters in Kabul.
Last-minute talks delayed the release of the results by nearly five hours yesterday, as the two campaigns tried to thrash out a deal over fraud allegations that threaten to fuel instability.
