World Series Reason Afghan Election Over
According to a press release by Abdullah Abdullah, presidential challenger in the Afghan election against incumbent Hamid Karzai, announced that he would not participate in the run-off election.
Despite great success at the polls, forcing a constitutionally-mandated follow-up vote, Abdullah Abdullah chose to forgo his right and hand over the election to his opponent.
Sources close to him report that the reason for his decision is the fact that he wants to watch the World Series.
Abdullah Abdullah is widely-known as a major Philadelphia Phillies fan and has allegedly become “highly involved” in the championship series. Sources also confirm that he has placed a major bet with rival Karzai, a well-known New York Yankees fan, regarding the outcome of the best-of-seven games.
