Hamid Karzai Responds to UN Report of Fraud in Afghanistan Elections

Published in International, Republicans on October 19, 2009 @ 11:44 AM | 3 Comments

Charges of voter fraud were rampant in Afghanistan’s most recent presidential election. Today, findings were leaked from a UN report claiming that current President Karzai had only received 48 percent of the vote, less than the 50% + 1 required under Afghanistan’s constitution. Should the UN findings stand, the result would be a runoff election between Karzai and his challenger, Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah.

In the wake of the findings, President Karzai held a press conference with former US President George W. Bush. When asked about the report, Karzai said:

Yes, I would like to comment on the UN fraud report. I stole that election fair and square.
