Election commission chief Hawa Alam Nuristani told a press conference in Kabul that Mr Ashraf Ghani has won 50.64 percent votes, as the president of Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, Ghani’s opponents Dr. Abdullah Abdullah said, the vote was marred by massive fraud, technical problems with biometric devices used for voting, attacks and irregularities.
