At a ceremony in Amol (a city in the province of Mazandaran), Ahamd Jannati said: ”The Islamic Republic of Iran has held one of the most honest elections, and there is no room for complaints or arguments.”
Jannati is the Secretary of the Guardian Council, the body responsible for supervising election processes in Iran.
According to Fars News, he added, “The Guardian Council does not have any partisan associations or power interests, and it seeks neither money or political posts. The Council considers the integrity and credibility of this [past presidential] election superseding those held in any other country.”
Jannati called election fraud claims “ridiculous.” He stated, “The treason these mercenaries committed against the nation has been unprecedented.”
