Karzai's re-election 'not legitimate'

Abdullah calls President Karzai's stay in office illegal.

Hamid Karzai's main electoral rival has condemned election
officials' decision to declare him president, saying
Karzai's re-election lacks 'legitimacy'.

Former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah on Sunday pulled
out of a run-off poll scheduled for November after more than
a million votes cast in the August 20 election were
discarded as fraudulent.

Afghanistan's Independent Election Commission (IEC)
cancelled the second term the next day and declared Karzai
president for another five-year term.

The president's re-election was welcomed by the UN chief Ban
Ki-moon and leaders from Western allies, who urged him a
prompt 'eradication of government corruption'.

Abdullah, however, charged Wednesday that the IEC decision
to declare his rival Karzai as president had 'no legal
basis'.

In his first public appearance after Karzai's re-election,
Abdullah scoffed at his rival's pledge to fight widespread
graft in Afghanistan and forge national unity, saying 'such
a government which lacks legitimacy cannot fight
corruption'.

"A government which comes to power without the people's
support cannot fight phenomena of terrorism threats,
unemployment, poverty and hundreds of other problems," he
told reporters.

Abdullah repeated accusations of 'incompetence and bias'
against the IEC, insisting that 'a government which takes
power based on such a commission's decision cannot have
legitimacy'.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
