Speaking at a news conference here, Abdullah said Azizullah Lodin should be replaced within five days, accusing him of no credibility.
Lodin had denied the allegations.
Abdullah said all those workers implicated in fraud should be sacked.
"I have the conditions for holding a free and fair election that the interior, education, border and tribal affairs ministers and director general of independent directorate of local governance should remain suspended on the Day of Election and the IEC chief be dismissed ," he said.
Abdullah insisted that his observers should be allowed to monitor activities of the said officials during the election process.
He said the 500 polling stations established in insecure areas must be closed as there were irregularities in the first round. He asked for dismissal of those IEC workers who he believed were involved in rigging instead of transferring them from one province to another.
He said his demands were not aimed at personnel gains, but he wanted to ensure a fair second round of the presidential elections.
He also demanded probe into the allegations and complaints regarding provincial council elections and making the outcome of the investigation public.
The key challenger to incumbent president Hamid Karzai also sought the suspension of some ministers who he said campaigned for Karzai before the official campaigning period.
President Karzai and Abdullah have begun their two-week campaigns Sunday ahead of the run-off election as the AIEC ordered a run-off for the disputed presidential election after a fraud investigation decreased incumbent Hamid Karzai's votes below 50 percent of the total.
However, Abdullah would not say what would be his reaction if his demands were not met.
He said he would show his reaction if faced with that unfortunate situation.
To a question, he said his conditions were simple and were not aimed at creating troubles in the way of holding the elections.
He said he had sent his conditions to the United Nations Mission in
