Ashraf Ghani declared winner of Afghan presidential poll

KABUL: Afghanistan’s election body declared Ashraf Ghani the winner of the 2019 presidential poll on Tuesday, almost five months after voting took place. Dr Abdullah Abdullah was the runner up, the Independent Election Commission added.

Ghani`s opponents say the vote on September 28, 2019, was marred by massive fraud, technical problems with biometric devices used for voting, attacks and irregularities.
