Iran vote: Enthusiastic turnout of expatriates disappoints enemies
The spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry says the "enthusiastic" participation of Iranian expatriates in the 14th presidential election has made friends happy and foes disappointed.
On Friday, Iranians both inside the country and abroad cast their ballots in the presidential election that will determine who will be in charge of the country’s executive branch for the next four years.
Friday's vote saw none of the four candidates securing an outright win. Therefore, Iran will hold a runoff presidential election on July 5.
In a post on his X account on Saturday, Nasser Kan'ani said the enthusiastic turnout of Iranian nationals living abroad in the election "once again showed patriotism and love for dear Iran."
He added that all Iranians will "once again and in a new test" stand together with unity in the runoff election to improve the country's dignity.
The spokesman reiterated that all proud Iranians anywhere in the country and the world will come to the polls on Friday.
As many as 250 polling stations have been allocated to members of the Iranian diaspora, who could seek to cast their ballots in the election.
The election was called after President Ebrahim Raeisi was martyred along with seven others on May 19, when the helicopter carrying them crashed in northwestern Iran.
