Not all Iranians supported the Friday vote. This user opposes those who went to polls in different parts of the world. Some polling stations abroad, ran out of ballot due to unexpected turnout. In others voting schedule was extended.
A glimpse at one of the lines of voters during the Friday vote
US based journalist Omid Memarian tweets the front Page of Etemad Daily with headline: " The Nation Repeated". While the headline is a general description of voter turnout, it is using the same wording of former President Mohammad Khatami when he asked voters to go to polls and support Hassan Rouhani. Memarian writes that it was a smart move on the part of Etemad Daily to use Khatami's quote as a headline, without mentioning his name. Iranian media are not allowed to use former president's name and picture.
Alireza Kianpour, Tehran based journalist tweeting from inside the interior ministry following the gradual announcement of the vote count. He jokingly writes: " since he entered the ministry, he stayed behind the news". Pointing to speculations of online users, he writes: " In the virtual world Rohani already won, but at the ministry the government hasn't changed!"
