Iranians Said “NO” to Many Decisive Promises of other Candidates: Finally by announcement of the votes counted, checked, controlled and approved by the “Guardian Council” President Rouhani was selected by the nation and this brought about many analysis by the right to left parties and supporters.
On Friday May 19th. 2017 two parallel elections carried out in Iran and both results showed that the nation is looking for moderation and reforms and not a peanut cash money which some candidates promised to make it triple. The most important election run for the presidency and irrespective of many plans drawn by far right, hard liners and principalists including a lot of cash payment promises that announced by at least three candidates, the nation said “NO” to all of it and chossed the moderation and reforms in both the city councils and elect president.
Based on the news, Iranian interior minister announced the final results of presidential election which indicated Hassan Rouhani became the Iranian president for the second four-year term. According to the final results, 41,220,131 ballots were cast which 99.7 percent of them counted. Hassan rouhani with 23,549,616 votes (57 percent) won the presidential election.
Ebrahim Raisi won 15,786,449 votes (38.5 percent), Mostafa Aqa-Mirsalim won 478,215 votes and Mostafa Hashemi-Taba won 215,450 votes.
The results shown in the above text and image confirms more than 23.54 millions of votes (about 57%) to the present President Rouhani. After the announcements, positive reactions were seen from many parts of the world, including one from the German president which confirmed the possibility of the increasing of German trade with Iran at this new period.
Most Iranians believe that by re-election of President Rouhani will result in more freedom in trade with the western world which the President’s rival seemed to be not happy with them. Although, another event made them thinking of the starting of another hard and tough period and it was the US President visit to S.Arabia and his very questionable acts: While Trump was linking arms with king Salman of Saudi Arabia, swaying in the ‘Ardha’, the traditional sword dancing, possibly the same sword the Saudis behead their opponents in the public, people in Iran, hand-in-hand were celebrating in the streets all across the country the victory of a moderate President.
By any means, we, here at PIMI editorial discussion are very optimistic about the future and could see the future very bright and hopeful.
