阿富汗独立选举委员会宣布卡尔扎伊在阿富汗富有争议的大选中当选。此前他们取消了原定于本星期六举行的总统决选。

之前卡尔扎伊的竞争对手阿卜杜拉星期天宣布退出大选，原因是他担心选举中存在舞弊。

联合国秘书长潘基文星期一会见了卡尔扎伊和阿卜杜拉。他表示联合国将一如既往地致力于解决阿富汗问题。
Afghanistan’s Election Commission has declared President Hamid Karzai the winner of the country’s disputed election after canceling a second round of voting.
The commission chief (Azizullah Ludin) said Monday President Karzai would keep his post because he was the winner of the first round of voting in August, and the only candidate in the run-off election that was scheduled for November 7.
Mr. Karzai’s challenger, Abdullah Abdullah, withdrew from the race Sunday because of concerns about widespread fraud, which marred the August vote.
The United States, Britain and the United Nations issued statements congratulating President Karzai. They also welcomed the decision to cancel the run-off election.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met both Mr. Karzai and Abdullah in Kabul Monday. He vowed the U.N. remains committed to Afghanistan.
