KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan’s independent election commission says President Ashraf Ghani has won a second term as president.
Election results were repeatedly delayed amid accusations of misconduct and technical problems with counting ballots. Abdullah in December agreed to allow a ballot recount in provinces where his supporters had stopped the process for almost a month. The election commission had tried to launch a ballot recount in November but Abdullah halted the attempt, saying he wouldn’t let his observers participate.
