In December of 2001, the Taliban took over Kabul, forcing then President Burhanuddin Rabbani to flee. Hamid Karzai became temporary Acting President.

He was later appointed in 2002 June 19 to be the president of the Afghan Transitional Administration.

Finally, in 2004 October 9, he was elected.

In 2009 August 20, he received almost 50% of the vote; his competitor later withdrew, making Karzai still the President.
