Kabul: Afghanistan's run-off election should still take place despite opposition candidate Abdullah Abdullah's withdrawal from the contest, a spokesman for President Hamid Karzai said Sunday.
"We believe that the election has to go on, the process must complete itself," Karzai's chief campaign spokesman Waheed Omar said.
"The people of Afghanistan have to be given the right to vote," he told Al-Jazeera television.
