TEHRAN, March 15 (RIA Novosti) - A partial vote count following Iran's parliamentary election has given a landslide victory to conservatives who broadly support the hard-line president, Fars news agency said on Saturday.
The agency said that judging by votes counted in several provinces, the conservatives are set to receive 70% of seats in the 290-seat parliament.
Although the majority of conservatives back President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, some are moderates who have questioned his confrontational stance with the West, and his management of the economy.
Friday's election came under criticism in Western media as 1,700 reformers were barred from the polls by an unelected body of clerics and legal experts. Reformists currently hold around 40 seats in parliament.

According to the Interior Ministry, turnout was 65% of the 44 million eligible voters. Opening hours of polling stations were extended several times due to the high turnout, according to officials.

The results are to be officially announced by March 20.
On Friday, president Ahmadinejad accused the United Nations Security Council of attempting to influence the election by imposing sanctions on Iran.

Here's the real story:

Almost like one of Saddam's elections, isn't it?

Grizz, the Western media is controlled by the Zionists/neo-cons who told us back in 2002 that Saddam Husein had weapons of mass destructions.:)

Grow up already.

Yet another article that proves December wrong on this item.

The reformists seem to have given up the fight after many of their candidates were disqualified on the grounds of alleged lack of loyalty to Islamic values, says our correspondent.

Tell you what December, show me one of your sources that say the 1700 wern't barred from running and I'll believe you. But so far there is nothing of the sort.

:madlaugh:

Help me out here - is Bush a Zionist, neo-con, a dunce controlled by neo-cons who are controlled by Zionists, or a dunce controlled by Zionists who take their marching orders from neo-cons? This gets awfully confusing so I hope you take a moment or two to set me straight.
