Abdullah Chides Commission, Won't Accept Fraudulent Result --- Just a few hours of the Independent Election Commission's (IEC) preliminary announcement, leading candidate Abdullah Abdullah criticized election officials and their management of the process. He said his team would not accept a fraudulent election. --- Abdullah suggested that a vote widely perceived to be rigged could cause major issues for Afghanistan's tenuous political stability. He accused election officials of muddling up the complaints, vote audit and recounting processes. --- Although most experts have forecasted a runoff given the most recent figures provided by the IEC, Abdullah said he and his team had done their own math, and that it is unlikely there will be a second round of voting. The winning candidate must get an outright majority of votes to forgo a runoff. - More, tolonews
