KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's Supreme Court has ruled that President Ashraf Ghani can stay in office until a much-delayed presidential election, which is due to be held after his mandate expires next month, officials said.
The election, originally scheduled for April this year, has been postponed twice to allow more time to organise the poll, first to July and then to Sept. 28, well after the official end of Ghani's five-year term on May 22.
