02:01Voters cast their votes for the presidential runoff in Tehran as millions of Iranians hit the polls for the second round of the election on Friday.
Footage shows locals lining up outside before entering Hosseinia Ershad Institute, showing credentials to presiding election officials. Hadi Khamenei, brother of Ayatollah Khamenei and former vice president Eshagh Jahangiri were seen casting their votes as well.
“Two candidates represent two kinds of approaches and mindsets. People should analyse and answer the question that with which one of these mindsets is the solution for the issues in our country and put Iran on a proper path," Jahangiri said.
“Participation in the [Presidential] election is absolutely effective. Contrary to the saying states that the president does not have any authority, the president is the head of executive power and all the ministers and government workers are under his supervision and management. So this important election can't be neglected," Hadi Khamenei stated.
Khamenei also expressed hope that "people will succeed in voting and choosing the best [candidate], and at this stage, people should definitely make more effort because they will finish the work. Tomorrow, God willing, we will have our president."
The runoff was triggered after no candidate received more than 50 per cent of the votes on June 28. In the first round, Moderate reformist candidate Pezeshkian led with 10.4 million - or around 42 per cent - with conservative candidate Jalili close behind on 9.4 million - 39 per cent - of the 24.5 million votes cast according to Iran's election authority.
The elections were called after former president Ebrahim Raisi, foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and six others were killed in a helicopter crash in May.
