Abdullah on verge of quitting Afghanistan poll

Hamid Karzai's rival fails to secure conditions to avoid fraud in presidential election runoff

David Batty and agencies guardian.co.uk, Saturday 31 October 2009 16.24 GMT

Abdullah Abdullah, the main challenger in the Afghan presidential election, is close to quitting next Saturday's presidential runoff poll against incumbent Hamid Karzai - a move likely to further undermine the credibility of the country's government.


Abdullah had laid down conditions for his participation in the second round of the elections but the deadline for Karzai's government to meet them passed today without an agreement being reached.


The former Afghan foreign minister demanded the resignation of key election officials, cabinet ministers and provincial governors as a way to avoid a repeat of the massive fraud in the presidential vote in August.


He will officially announce whether he will boycott the election tomorrow, following a loya jirga, or grand assembly of elders, his campaign team announced today.



I wonder if he woke up with the head of his favorite horse in bed with him?
