The latest results from Afghanistan\'s presidential election show President Hamid Karzai with 54.1 per cent of the vote after 92 per cent of polling stations were declared.
The results push President Karzai past the 50 per cent threshold needed to avoid a run-off with rival Abdullah Abdullah.
However the figures were thrown into doubt by the UN-backed election complaints commission which ordered a number of recounts and audits of votes.
It warned that it had found clear and convincing evidence of fraud.
The August 20 election has been overshadowed by claims of fraud and ballot-box stuffing against all the main candidates.
