Afghanistan's Independent Election Commission has declared Hamid Karzai as the country's president after the cancellation of a presidential run-off.
The IEC announced in a Tuesday press conference that there will be no presidential run-off after the withdrawal of Abdullah Abdullah, the only challenger to the incumbent Hamid Karzai.
On Sunday, former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah dropped out of the November vote, citing fears of widespread fraud, which discredited the first round, would be repeated.
Abdullah had called for the dismissal of the head of the IEC head, Azizullah Lodin, accusing him of rigging the vote in favor of Karzai.
