Rouhani elected Iran’s President

Iran’s moderate cleric Mr. Hassan Rouhani was elected President of Iran on June 15, 2013, trouncing his conservative rivals by a wide margin and raising hopes of mainstreaming reformists who had faced political marginalisation over the last eight years.
Mr. Rouhani won a total of 18,613,329 votes, securing 50.70 percent of votes, sufficient to avoid a run-off with his nearest rival.
