32 million votes cast in elections ‘IAEA chief to visit Iran ‘soon'
In an unprecedented turnout, nearly 32 million Iranians
cast their votes on Friday, June 12, at the 10th
presidential elections, early reports say.
According to Press TV's correspondent at the Election
Commission Headquarters, Gissoo Ahmadi, based on
unofficial statistics, out of 46 million eligible voters,
nearly 32 million voted.
Iranian citizens abroad also flocked into Iran's
diplomatic missions in 130 countries to cast their
ballots.
Polls were originally due to close at 18:00 local time
(1330 GMT) but polling stations were ordered by the
Interior Ministry to remain open until 22:00 local time as
voters continued to stream to polling stations.
Iran's Election Commission Chief, Kamran Daneshjoo, announced early Saturday that incumbent President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was leading the polls with 69.04 percent of the votes in the preliminary results.
Out of 19.42 percent of the votes counted until 23:54 local time (20:24 GMT), Mir Hossein Mousavi stood at
second place with 28.42 percent of the votes.
If no candidate gets an absolute majority of the votes in the first round, the two front-runners will face a run-off
vote on June 19.

Islam can CONQUER the West peacefully

It is SIMPLE!. No Suicide Bomber. No Terrorism attacks. Just marry Healthy Westerners and convert
them to Islam, have as MANY CHILDREN AS POSSIBLE from them! Zionist jews are already doing this
in Palestine! Jewish Rabbis are already encouraging Jewish women to have 12 children each in order to
form MAJORITY and populate all Palestine. Europe and America will be Muslim in 30 years if you do
this. I have done my part and have already 9 Western Muslim children from a Western woman. Good
luck!.

Hopefully Ahmadinejad fights against corruption in Iran. There r a lof of parasites (Moftkhors) in the
ministeries and organisations (Sazemanha). Hopefully just he does not talk and talk about corruption.
Unfortunately a lot of criminals (Fased) r working in Police (Niruhaye Entezami).they must be expelled.
