The second term presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been formally
approved on Monday after a disputed election that leading reformists
say was rigged to ensure the incumbent's victory.
The official ceremony was held and Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei) approved Mr. Ahmadinejad's presidency, Arabic media reports.
Khamenei has endorsed the June 12 election result and demanded an
end to protests during which at least 30 people were killed.
Ahmadinejad will be sworn in by parliament on Wednesday. He then
has two weeks to submit his cabinet list to the mostly conservative
parliament, which may object if he names only members of his inner
circle.
