Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on Day after Election

Iran newspapers and Elections

All newspapers today highlighted the high turnout of Iranian people in the presidential and local elections held on Friday across the country and in other parts of the world.

Since the papers were published before the declaration of results, none of them had the chance to cover Hassan Rouhani’s re-election, rumours of which were spread in early hours of Saturday.

However, some of them pointed to the number of voters, which stood nearly at 40 million.

Here are some of the Iranian newspaper front pages released on the day after the historic election:

Final Results of Iran’s Presidential Election Declared

In a press conference on Saturday, Interior Minister Rahmani Fazli told reporters that 41,220,131 Iranian people have voted in the country’s presidential election held on Friday.

According to a report by IFP, the figure shows a high turnout of over 73%.

Rahmani Fazli said Rouhani has won the election by securing 23,549,616 votes, which accounts for 57% of total ballots.

Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi, the conservative rival of Rouhani, has also finished second by receiving 15,786,449 votes (38.5%).

478,215 voters have voted for Seyyed Mostafa Aqa-Mirsalim and 215,450 for Seyyed Mostafa Hashemitaba, according to Rahmani Fazli.

1,190,401 votes were also invalid, the minister said, stressing that the results are based on counting 99.7% of voting stations, and can be regarded as the final results.

EU’s Mogherini Congratulates Rouhani on Re-Election

“Iranians took passionately part to political life of their country. I congratulate President Hassan Rouhani for strong mandate received,” Mogherini noted in a post in her Twitter account.

“EU [is] ready to continue work for full JCPOA [the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers] implementation, bilateral engagement, regional peace, and meeting expectations of all people in Iran,” she went on to say.

Iranian people on Friday went to ballot boxes across Iran and the world to vote for their favourite presidential candidates.

The main competition was between Rouhani and his conservative rival Ebrahim Raisi.

According to Iran’s state TV, Rouhani has already secured enough votes to become Iran’s president for the second four-year term.

He has so far gained 58.5% of the votes, while Raisi has received 39.7%. The final results are going to be declared by the Iranian Interior Ministry in half an hour.

“Iran Derives Stability from Its People, Not from Coalitions”

“We derive stability not from ‘coalitions’, but from our people, who – unlike many – do vote,” Zarif said in a post in his Twitter account on Saturday.

“Iranians must be respected,” the Iranian top diplomat said, stressing that the nation is ready to engage [with other nations in the region].

His remarks came as US President Donald Trump is going to attend a meeting with heads of 50 Arab states in Riyadh which is aimed at forming an alliance called the “Islamic NATO” in order to counter Iran.

Based on speculations by Western media, Trump is also trying to encourage Saudi Arabia to strengthen their relations with the Israeli regime in order to better tackle their common enemy, Iran.

Trump’s Riyadh Visit Eclipsed by High Turnout in Iran Election

Trump’s Riyadh Visit Eclipsed by High Turnout in Iran Election-1

US President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, on the first leg of his first overseas trip as president to hold talks with Riyadh authorities. Trump is going to attend a meeting with heads of 50 Arab states which, as Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud says, is amed at forming an alliance called the “Islamic NATO” in order to counter Iran.

Based on speculations by Western media, Trump is also trying to encourage Saudi Arabia to strengthen their relations with the Israeli regime in order to better tackle their common enemy, Iran.

Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in an interview with the Saudi MBC network around three weeks ago made a series of threats against Iran. He said Riyadh would not wait to see a war break out in Saudi Arabia, but will try to get the conflict to erupt inside Iran. Such efforts became more obvious a little later when terrorist groups expanded their activities along Iran’s borders, especially the attack on Iranian border guards by terrorists from inside Pakistan.

Some observers believe these threatening remarks by the Saudi defence minister on the threshold of Trump’s trip to Riyadh were an attempt by Saudi Arabia to draw the US president’s support for anti-Iran efforts made by Riyadh and its allies. Also, Saudi Arabia reinforced activities by Riyadh-backed terrorist groups on Iranian borders, and at the same time, tried to form a military alliance known as the “Arab NATO” to prove itself to Washington as a country which is at forefront of confrontation with Iran.

Trump’s Riyadh Visit Eclipsed by High Turnout in Iran Election

Nevertheless, maybe Saudi princes had not considered the coincidence of Trump’s trip with Iran’s presidential election. The vote marked by a high turnout has taken international observers by surprise. The ballot was attended by people from all walks of life, including Iranian Sunni citizens, who Saudi Arabia believes have a lot of influence. This may raise a question for the Americans who are guests of Saudi Arabia: Can a country, whose name has been taken from the dynasty ruling it, be a reliable ally to confront a “hostile” country where just voters outnumber the whole Saudi population?

Maybe if Trump’s plane is allowed to fly across the Iranian airspace at a low altitude whereby he will be able to see the fervour and enthusiasm of tens of millions of Iranian voters, the first question he would ask the Saudi king and princes would be about the “meaning of election.”

Rouhani Re-Elected as Iran’s President: State TV

Iran’s state TV on Saturday congratulated Rouhani on his re-election as Iran’s president after the Elections Headquarters declared that he has secured 22,796,468 votes out of more than 38 million votes counted so far.

This means Rouhani has won the election by a wide margin, as his main rival Raisi has received 15,452,194 votes so far.

Rouhani has so far won 58.5%, and Raisi 39.7% of the votes.

The final results will are scheduled to be declared in two hours, according to the Interior Ministry.

Earlier on Saturday, Deputy Chief of Staff of Rouhani’s office Hamid Aboutalebi had suggested in a post in his Twitter account that Rouhani has won the second term by securing 62% of the 42 million votes.

“People’s High Turnout to Enhance Iran’s Security in Region”

“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s security in the region will be enhanced by people’s high turnout in the elections,” Larjani said on Friday.

“We hope the elections would bring good achievements for the Iranian nation,” he went on to say, hailing the good turnout of voters in Iran.

“People went to ballot boxes enthusiastically and fulfilled their national duty,” Larijani said.

“I have contacted the Elections Headquarters and found that no problem has been reported so far. I guess Iranian people have the political vigilance and intelligence, and their high turnout is a great privilege,” he added.

Several Terrorist Cells Busted ahead of Iran Elections

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of his visit to the Interior Ministry’s elections headquarters in Tehran on Friday, Mahmoud Alawi highlighted the vigilance and supremacy of the country’s intelligence forces over terrorist groups and said the forces have a close watch on every suspicious activity across the country.

Several small terrorist cells have been targeted and hit by the intelligence forces, he said, adding that no cases of successful anti-security measures have been reported.

Near 63,500 polling stations across Iran opened on Friday morning. Around 14,000 mobile ballot boxes have been also prepared for inaccessible and rural areas.

Iranians headed to the polls as soon as the stations opened to elect the country’s 8th president.

There are four candidates seeking the presidency in the polls, namely incumbent President Hassan Rouhani, Ebrahim Raisi, Mostafa Hashemitaba, and Mostafa Aqa-Mirsalim. Two other hopefuls, Eshaq Jahangiri and Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, dropped out of the race in favor of Rouhani and Raisi, respectively.

Concurrently, the 5th City and Village Councils elections are being held across the country.

According to the Interior Ministry, the election process involves around 1.5 million executive forces and monitors, 350,000 security forces, 70,000 inspectors, and around 100,000 representatives of local governors.

Authorities say the number of eligible voters stands at above 56,400,000, more than 1,350,000 of whom are allowed to vote for the first time.

More than 600 local and foreign reporters and journalist cover the news of Friday’s election.

Speaking in a visit to the Iranian expatriates’ election headquarters at the Foreign Ministry in Tehran, Zarif vowed to safeguard the ballots cast by Iranians living in other countries.

Great turnout in Iran’s presidential election indicates how much the people attach importance to the religious democracy in Iran, Zarif noted, as reported by IRNA.

Iranians in 103 countries are casting their ballots. The first votes were cast in New Zealand, and people in various parts of the world are now in lines to vote for their favourite candidate.

 

According to reports, over 56 million of Iranians are eligible to go to the polls. Out of the total eligible voters over 1.3 million are those who vote for the first time.

Polling stations for the 12th presidential election and the fifth city and village councils elections are open from 8 am (Iran standard time) until 6 pm although authorities have announced that the country’s 63,500 polling stations could extend their voting time if necessary.
