Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said he would only accept the result of the U.S. elections if he wins the presidency.
The announcement came after Trump expressed his doubts on the legitimacy of the U.S. election process ahead of the final presidential debate on Wednesday in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Lagging behind Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in various polls, Trump claimed that he was being forced to waive his right to contest election results.
“I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election, if I win,” said Trump at a rally in Delaware, Ohio.
During the final debate, the Republican bet refused to give definite answer when asked if he would concede the elections if he lose on Nov. 8.
Amid being the underdog, Trump claimed that he could lose the presidential race through election rigging following his claims of conspiracies to undermine his candidacy.
Trump has continued to slide down on various polls after a video of him and Billy Bush surfaced having lewd conversation about women.
Using his Twitter account, Trump posted supposed post-debate polls showing he was way ahead against Hillary Clinton. Among those are as follows:
