In Afghanistan, Presidential candidate Dr. Abdullah Abdullah announced on Sunday that he will not participate in the second round of elections scheduled for Saturday. Announcing a gathering of his supporters in capital Kabul, Dr. Abdullah said he made the decision because demands he made for a fair vote had not been met by the government and election officials. AIR reports that his decision came as many analysts believed that incumbent President Mr. Hamid Karzai was favorite to win the run-off after getting the most votes in the first round elections held on August 20.
The Afghan constitution is silent for such a scenario where one candidate pulls out of runoff. Meanwhile, the country Election Commission has said it will decide the future course of action.
