Iran’s ultra-conservative cleric Ebrahim Raisi has won the presidential election the previous day, TV3 News reports.
Iran’s presidential election is over, and there are no surprises.
The official results have not been announced yet, but almost all the votes have been counted. A convincing victory for the election favorite – the ultra-conservative cleric Ebrahim Raisi.
He is expected to take office in August, replacing Iran’s eighth president and replacing moderate Hasans Ruhan, who has served a maximum of two terms. The two met on Saturday, June 19.
The elections took place at a time when Tehran is continuing talks with the world’s powers on the fate of the 2015 nuclear deal.
The country remains subject to sanctions and public dissatisfaction with the heavy economy remains.
