Reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian and conservative hardliner Saeed Jalili will go to a run-off vote in Iran’s presidential election, the nation’s electoral authority mentioned on Saturday.
Pezeshkian acquired round 42.5% of the vote and Jalili adopted at 38.7%. There had been two different candidates within the race.
As none achieved an absolute majority, the run-off will happen on July 5.
Some 61 million voters in Iran had been eligible to elect a successor to hardliner Ebrahim Raisi on Friday, after he died in a helicopter crash in May.
