Ashraf Ghani wins a second term as president of Afghanistan but main rival rejects 'fraudulent' results and threatens to form parallel government
Election commission declares incumbent Ashraf Ghani winner of disputed presidential election held almost five months ago, but rivals say commission and outcome"have no legitimacy."
The results came nearly five months after the September 28, 2019, poll, after vote-rigging allegations by Ghani's main rival, Abdullah Abdullah, who served as Afghanistan's chief executive, forced a recount. When asked about what Abdullah's team planned to do next, he said they had "many options" and would "firmly stand against the injustice.""This announcement is unacceptable. We stand against it.
