ISLAMABAD, June 13 (Xinhua) local time June 13 16:30 (20 o'clock), Iran's interior Minister Sadic Mahsuri announced the results of the presidential election, the incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the election with a 62.63% vote, the former prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi with 33.75% of the vote followed. The other two candidates, former Revolutionary Guard Commander Rezai and former speaker Karroubi, had no more than 2% votes.　　The result of the election is subject to final confirmation by the Guardian Council within 7-10 days. June 12, of the 46.2 million eligible voters in Iran, a total of more than 39 million people participated in the vote, the voter turnout of more than 85%, creating a higher record.　　The elections scheduled for the end of 18 o'clock local time (Tuesday, 21:30) were extended until 22 o'clock, as many voters still queued up at polling stations to complete the voting after all waiting for voters to finish their ballots. Under the Iranian Constitution, presidential elections are held once every 4 years and can be re-elected for one term. The candidate who won more than 50% of the vote in the election is the winner. If no one gets more than half of the votes, the top two candidates enter the second round, the second round is held a week later, and the candidate who gets more votes wins.　　However, the results of the preliminary elections need to be confirmed by the Iraqi Constitutional Guardianship board before they can come into effect, and the Guardian Council shall have the power to declare the result invalid or part of the election result invalid, and the confirmation process will take 7-10 days. Conservative candidate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi are considered among the two most competitive candidates, and this election is seen as a real battle between conservatives and Reformers, who believe the results of the election will have an important impact on Iran's future development.　　This election has aroused widespread concern because of the introduction of live television, in order to ensure that the election of fair candidates can be represented at the polling station to oversee the election. Susan Rice, the Permanent Representative of the United States, said 12th that the U.S. position is that Iran "should not continue to engage in its nuclear weapons program" and that the US position will not change as a result of the Iranian presidential election. As long as Iran's nuclear issue is not resolved, Ahmadinejad's next term will still face the economic sanctions of the United States and other Western countries.
