Al Jazeera – Iran recount gives Ahmadinejad win — It’s official!

Iran’s Guardian Council has confirmed the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the country’s president, following a partial recount of votes from the disputed presidential election of June 12.

State television said that Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, the council’s secretary, had presented Sadegh Mahsouli, the minister of the interior, with a letter saying it had approved the election after a recount of 10 per cent of the ballots.

“The secretary of the Guardian Council in a letter to the interior minister announced the final decision of the Council … and declares the approval of the accuracy of the results of … the presidential election,” IRIB, the Iranian broadcaster, said.

    What?!? The same people who defrauded the election in the first place have claimed there was no fraud? I don’t believe it!

  2. Nimby says:

    I lost track. So A’jad now has 125% of the votes? Is that nationwide or just where they’ve been recounted?

    It doesn’t matter. The Ayatollah still holds the reins.

    #13 All of them save for Iran, but I’ve been to the middle east. My source are my own experiences, besides from firends and several news sources. Not shy at all, only that I know a misinformed moron when I see it.

    #14 Another Moron.

    #16 The only gullible person I see here is you trying to makes us beleive your crap.

    Exactly the type of comment you get from someone who has nothing to add to the debate.
    Let me guess, your a Bill O’reilly fan boy.

    Let me make another guess, you don’t support Hugo Chavez.

    Politicians are all the same crap. It doesn’t really matter who wins. What does matter, is that the Iranian people can take control just like they did when they took the power from that US stooge ‘the Shah’ and gave it to the Ayatollahs. I understand some Unitedstatesicans are little resentful after the hostage crisis and the failed rescue(I was right there aboard the USS Okinawa at the time). A humiliating defeat to be sure. Still not enough to learn not to mess around in somebody elses politics, though – and that’s a shame.

    #28 Ramuno Cheese — Hahahahahah! You win.

  10. orangetiki says:

    So when you ask the people who win did you cheat and they say no, do you believe them?

  11. pedro says:

    #25 Lemmy guess, you’re a lefty loon who supports radical right wing theocracies.

    I thought as much . Your a bitter man because hugo prevented the scum bags you supported from raping your country. I can see why you support western neo-con tyranny in Iran.
