Afghanistan
Hamid Karzai teams claims presidential victory
2009-08-21
THE head of Afghan President Hamid Karzai's re-election campaign said the incumbent was decisively leading the count and there would be no need for a second-round run-off.

"From what we have obtained so far, we can claim that there is no need for a run-off and we can claim that we're in the lead," campaign chief Din Mohammmad said.

"We have got this figure from our observers at the (voting) sites," he added.
Attempted preemption. They won't have results until early September. In the meantime, this kind of thing is vain chatter.
