Kabul: Afghan presidential contender Abdullah Abdullah has rejected preliminary results of last month's run-off election which put his rival Ashraf Ghani in the lead, his spokesman said on Monday.
'We don't accept the results which were announced today and we consider this as a coup against people's votes,' said Mujib Rahman Rahimi, a spokesman for Abdullah's campaign.
