Partial results show tight race in Afghan election
Partial results released Sunday in Afghanistan's crucial presidential election show a tight race between ex-foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah, with 41.9 percent of the vote, and former finance minister Ashraf Ghani, with 37.6 percent.
While the numbers were based on less than 10 percent of the 7 million ballots cast in the April 5 election, the early results appeared to narrow the wide field to two main contenders, who could face off in a second round of voting if neither gains a majority. (AP)
