KABUL (AP) - Afghanistan’s election commission has canceled
Saturday’s presidential runoff and proclaimed President Hamid
Karzai victor of the war-ravaged nation’s tumultuous ballot.
Independent Election Commission chairman Azizullah Lodin
announced Karzai as the victor during a news conference in Kabul on
Monday.
Karzai’s challenger, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah,
dropped out of the race Sunday because he said the vote would not
be free or fair following fraud-marred first round.
