After winning the presidential race, Iran's President-elect, Masoud Pezeshkian, emphasised that without the support of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, he would not have won the election 'that easily'.
Pezeshkian delivered his inaugural speech at the mausoleum of Iran's late leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, after his election victory, saying, "A bigger test is upon us. A test for Iran to pass the challenges, difficulties and crises. A test for decreasing the various concerns of people for having a better life."
"I hope that parliament prepares itself for effective cooperation to pass the crisis of the country in light of the public votes which support the government. I respect my competitor Mr, Jalili. I say to all his voters that the competition is over and it is a time of friendship. Let's get united with love for the prosperity of our country," Pezeshkian added.
Iranian Interior Ministry announced on Saturday the winning of Masoud Pezeshkian in the election run-off to be the new Iranian president for the next four years after securing 16,384,157 votes, while his opponent, Saeed Jalili, received 13,538,179 votes.
The Ministry also stated that 30,530,157 citizens had participated in the runoff of Iran's 14th presidential election.
On July 5, the ballot boxes for the runoff of the snap election were opened, as none of the candidates had secured the required 50 per cent of votes for an outright victory in the first round, where another four hopefuls had contested, including three conservative candidates. The results showed that Masoud Pezeshkian received 42 per cent of the vote, while Saeed Jalili received 39 percent. The voter turnout for the first round was the lowest in Iranian history at 40 per cent.
The snap election was held one year ahead of its original schedule after Ebrahim Raisi and seven other officials, including Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, died in a helicopter crash in the country's northwestern mountains on May 19.
