Ashraf Ghani wins 56% of votes cast in Afghanistan's presidential election, according to preliminary results Former Afghan finance minister Ashraf Ghani is leading the race to replace Hamid Karzai as president, according to preliminary results.
More to follow. Mr Ghani won 56.44% of votes cast in the 14 June second round, the election commission said.
His opponent Abdullah Abdullah had 43.56%, the commission said.
Dr Abdullah led after the first round and has alleged widespread fraud in the run-off. Votes are being re-checked at thousands of polling stations.
The vote comes during a critical year for Afghanistan. Most foreign troops are due to withdraw by the end of 2014.
Dr Abdullah pulled out of Afghanistan's 2009 presidential election which was also marred by claims of mass fraud.
