AFGHANISTAN-ELECTION

Traditional drummers perform in the street as supporters of Afghan presidential candidate Ashraf Ghani celebrate after preliminary election results showed he won on July 7, 2014, in Kabul. Former World Bank economist Ashraf Ghani won Afghanistan's presidential election, according to preliminary results, with 56.4 percent of the run-off vote to rival candidante Afghan ex-foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah's 43.5 percent. Officials said the turnout was more than eight million in the June 14 vote out of an estimated electorate of 13.5 million voters -- far higher than expected, and a figure likely to trigger further allegations of fraud from both sides.
