During the 2005 Iranian presidential election with 29 Million voter turn out, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad received only 19% of the votes and came second to Rafsanjani with 21% votes during the first round. However miraculously Ahmadinejad received 62% of votes in the second round with Rafsanjani coming at a distant second with 36% . Election of 2005 represented 63% (29 million) turn out of eligible voters during the first round and 60% (28 million) during the second round.
This year the Islamic Republic has confessed to the record turn out of 39 million or 34% increase comparing to the first round 2005 (39% more than 2nd round 2005) of which 24 Million or 63% was claimed to have voted for Ahmadinejad, 13 Million (34%) for Mousavi, 678 thousand or 1.75% for Rezaii and only 333 thousand (0.86%) to Karoubi.
The mass rallies in support of Mousavi, preceding the election were agreed by most observers to have been a proof that more moderates would participate in the 2009 election , many of them the ones who did not vote or had boycotted the previous ones.
However to the surprise of Iranians and the world the two moderate candidates combined (Mousavi and Karoubi) received 13.5 million or less than 35% of eligible votes which was one percent less that the percentage that Rafsanjani obtained in the last boycotted election! In other words all the new 11 million new voters which represented 28% of the votes are claimed to have voted for Ahmadinejad!!
The demonstration in the streets of Iran before and after the election are also clear proof that millions of people’s votes were switched in the favor of Ahmadinejad.
Coup-de-tat of June 12, 2009 which has lead to the beating, imprisonment and by some reports killing of Iranian voters on a day that now in Iran is called “Black Saturday” is another proof of the illegitimacy of the Islamic Republic leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his hand-selected puppet president Mahmud Ahmadinejad.
As of yesterday the president-elect of Iranians by at least 60% of the vote is Mir-Hossein Mousavi.
