Ghani ahead on preliminary Afghan election results


Kabul (AFP) - Former World Bank economist Ashraf Ghani won Afghanistan's presidential election, according to preliminary results released on Monday, with 56 percent of the run-off vote to Abdullah Abdullah's 44 percent.

Election officials said the turnout was over eight million in the June 14 vote, far higher than expected, and a figure likely to trigger further allegations of fraud from both sides.

Ashraf Ghani is a very pure person with great ambitions, and I don't believe that he cheated in this Election. Although it is clear that some people with no connection to Ashraf Ghani cheated on his behalf, because they feared that Abdullah x2 would win, because he himself ordered his followers to cheat.

In the End i believe in democracy as the right way forward, but it will take time to eliminate corruption, and rigging but what it brings of good to the people is far greater than the negative sides.

Partly, they will now in the coming time check 7000 polling station trough for rigging, and the result afterwards will be accepted by him.

Although democracy has spoken and even though he don't accept it, he is the loser.
