Liberal Masoud Pezeshkian won and became the ninth president of Iran. This was learned after processing 30.5 million ballots, the Iranian news agency IRNA reported.
Reformist Pezeshkian received the support of 16.4 million Iranians, while his conservative rival Said Jalili received 13.4 million votes.
In the first round of early Iranian presidential elections, candidates failed to pass the 50% threshold required to win. Pezeshkian then received 10.4 million votes against Jalili’s 9.4 million. Voter turnout was 40%.
Considering that no one crossed the 50% mark, the second round of presidential elections was scheduled in the country.
Masoud Pezeshkian promotes dialogue with the West. He promised that his administration would work to try to lift the sanctions and restore the economy.
As you know, the elections in Iran started after the death of the previous president, Ibrahim Raisi, as a result of a helicopter accident.
