/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The spokesman of Iran's electoral watchdog, the
Guardians Council, Abbasali Kadkhodai said that there was no fraud
in the June 12 presidential election that saw Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
win a new four-year term.
"After 10 days of examination, we did not see any major
irregularities," Kadkhodai told the official IRNA news agency.
"We have had no fraud in any presidential election and this one was
the cleanest election we have had. I can say with certainty that
there was no fraud in this election."
Kadkhodai said the examinations were almost complete, and once they
are final, a report will be issued to the public on the matter.
A few days ago Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei instructed
the council to extend the deadline for candidates to file complaints.
According to Kadkhodai, "The extension is meant to give the candidates'
supporters a stronger feeling of security and create trust."
The Guardians Council is the body that supervises the election
process in Iran, and is responsible for ratifying the final results,
AFP reported.
