          Presidential contender Mohsen Rezaei has withdrawn
          his complaints filed with the Guardian Council, the
          country's electoral watchdog, about the disputed
          presidential election.
          “The [ current] political, social and security situation has
          entered a sensitive and decisive phase, which is more
          imporlant than the election,” Rezaei said in a letter to
          the Secretary of the Guardian Council, Ayatollah Ahmad
          Jannati.
          Citing an epic parlicipation by the Iranian people in what
          he called a ‘clear sample of religious democracy',
          Rezaei said despite his insistence on following the
          complaints, he withdrew his appeal because of time
          shortage.
          His letter came as Leader of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Seyyed A u Khamenei accepted a request put
          forward by Ayatollah Jannati for extending the deadline to investigate complaints made to the body.
          Rezaei came third in the election by winning 678,240 votes (1 .73 percent).
          The defeated candidates -- Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi and Mohsen Rezaei -- in the hotly-contested
          presidential election cried foul once incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared victor by a
          landslide in the June 12 poll.
          Mousavi, Karroubi and Rezaei, according to the Guardian Council, had reported over 600 irregularities in the
          electoral process.
          Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei, the council's spokesman, has suggested that the number of votes cast in 50 cities
          exceeded the actual number of voters.
          However, he says there are no regulations barring travelers from casting their vote in a city other than their
          hometown.
          Thus, the Guardian Council has ruled out the possibility of nullifying the disputed election, citing no record of any
          major irregularity.

          few.
