Presidential elections are over, and Afghanistan now faces a period of uncertainty and possible political chaos.
Saturday's vote was marred by violence, Taliban threats and widespread allegations of mismanagement and abuse. It was the fourth time Afghans have gone to the polls to elect a president since 2001 when the U.S.-led coalition ousted a regressive Taliban regime.
Initial estimates and observations at polling stations suggest a light turnout among 9.6 million eligible voters. International observers say there will be no mediation this time around. Before Saturday's polls the U.S. issued stiff warnings against fraud and even seemed to take direct aim at Ghani's government refusing to pay more than $160 million in aid projects directly to the government saying it was too corrupt.The next step in the process is to bring the votes from across the country to the Independent Election Commission compound in the capital Kabul, where they will be counted again.
