His campaigner Syed Mohamad Ali Rizwani told Pajhwok Afghan News Abdullah called a meeting of his campaigners and close aides to make a decision about the poll boycott.
He added a final decision was made at the meeting, but it would be announced at a huge gathering of his supporters planned for tomorrow (Sunday) in presence of media outlets.
He said the meeting decided that Abdullah would not boycott the runoff.
There were reports that Abddullah is planning to boycott the runoff against incumbent Hamid Karzai.
The former foreign minister had put forward several conditions to avoid a repeat of the massive fraud of the August presidential election, including the replacement of the AIEC chief and the suspension of some ministers, setting Saturday as the deadline for his demands to be met.
The Afghan constitution says that any vote cast for a candidate who withdraws will not be counted. However, it does not specifically address a candidate who does not formally withdraw but urges supporters to boycott the polls.
