Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei cast his ballot in Tehran during presidential elections that will select a successor to the late President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash last month.
Seesawing results released early Saturday in Iran’s presidential election put the race between reformist Masoud Pezeshkian and hard-liner Saeed Jalili, with the lead trading between the two men while a run-off vote appeared likely. Iranian state television reported the results which did not initially put either man in a position to win Friday’s election outright, potentially setting the stage for a second round of voting to replace the late hard-line President Ebrahim Raisi.
There had been calls for a boycott, including from imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi. Mir Hossein Mousavi, one of the leaders of the 2009 Green Movement protests who remains under house arrest, also has refused to vote along with his wife, his daughter said. There’s also been criticism that Pezeshkian represents just another government-approved candidate.
