Iran's President Elect ;Hasan Rowhani |
Iran's interior minister says moderate candidate Hasan Rowhani has won the presidential vote.
Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said at a press conference Saturday in Tehran
that Rowhani obtained more than 50 percent of more than 36 million
votes cast in Friday's election.
Rowhani was the lone moderate candidate in the race supported by
reformists in a race that once appeared solidly in the hands of Tehran's
ruling clerics.
Rowhani's conservative and hard-line opponents were far behind the
moderate Rowhani who has vowed to follow a policy of detente and
interaction with the outside world.
