Iran’s President-elect Ebrahim Raeisi holds his first press conference after clinching a landslide in the June 28 presidential election.

Iran’s President-elect Seyyed Ebrahim Raeisi lauds the “historic” and “passionate” turnout in the June 18 election, which he won overwhelmingly, vowing to make good on his campaign pledges and work to form an “active, revolutionary, and anti-corruption” administration.

Ayatollah Khamenei praises the “epic” turnout in the 2021 presidential election and says the Iranian nation is the “great winner” of the key vote.

Three candidates in Iran’s 2021 presidential election have been quick to offer congratulations to Seyyed Ebrahim Raeisi on his sweeping victory in the four-man race.

A scholarly research has found a “robust relationship” between a low turnout in an election and the COVID-19 pandemic, showing that a “non-negligible” fraction of voters may decide to abstain from voting over risks to their health.

Polls have closed in Iran’s 2021 presidential election after 19 hours of voting nationwide and in various foreign countries.

The latest study of voter inclinations by Press TV shows that voter support for presidential candidate Ebrahim Raeisi — who already ranks first in polls — has risen to 68.9%.
