TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Iran’s Interior Ministry has released partial results showing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad leading with nearly 70 percent of votes counted so far in Friday’s election. Senior ministry official Kamran Daneshjoo says Ahmadinejad had 68.8 percent of the more than 10 million ballots counted so far. His main reformist challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi had 28.8 percent.

The government has not yet released the total number of voters.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Iran’s state news agency is reporting that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has won re-election, but a reformist rival is also claiming victory. The rival claims came even before the close of polls on Friday. Official results are not expected until Saturday.

Neither the report in the IRNA news agency nor the competing announcement by Former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi at a news conference gave details on what their claims were based on.

Mousavi said only that he was “definitely the winner of the election” based on “all indications from all over Iran.”

The monthlong race had been considered too close to call and has been marked by bitterness between the top candidates that is uncharacteristic for Iranian campaigns.

A statement was just issued by Mir Hossein Mousavi’s camp via Fox News, declaring that he is the “definite winner” over Ahmadinejad in the Iranian election. As of now, there is no way to confirm this statement, as election results are not expected to become public until sunday. However, of course, stay tuned and I’ll update with any further news of the election.

    If the Mullahs are still for Ackmydinnerjacket, then he’ll win. If not, he’ll lose. The will of the people means nothing. They use ACORN-perfected vote counting procedures, like in the Washington Governor’s race or the Minnesota Senate race. “Oh, look, we just found more ballots for our boy on the back of the precinct captain’s camel…”

    You know the far Left loons would say that Ahmadinejad is elected by the Iranian people and we should accept that! I tell these idiots So What! That still does not make it right he is in office. All you have to do is look into history past and conjure Hitler and Mussolini! They were elect by their own citizens and look what happen when they got in office? STARTING WWII and millions of deaths and horrors they blitzkrieg upon the world!! So you see just because they were elected still does not mean it is right for them to hold office when they are a COMPLETE NUT JOB!
