Results Official : Incumbent the Winner

From The Australian :

Incumbent leader Hamid Karzai is the winner of Afghanistan’s first presidential election, the spokesman for the election commission said today.

”Karzai is the winner,” said Sultan Baheen of the Joint Electoral Management Body, adding that the results would be formally certified at 3.00pm (9.30pm AEDT).

Who would have believed back in early 2002 that Afghanistan would have an official election result before the US?
