At least 5 presidents, 10 speakers to attend Pezeshkian’s inauguration

Tehran, IRNA – A member of the Iranian Parliament’s presiding board has said that five presidents and ten parliament speakers will definitely attend President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian’s inauguration.

Speaking to IRNA, Mojtaba Yousefi said the list is being completed and will definitely change.

He added that the endorsement ceremony will be held in the presence of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and government and military officials on July 28.

Pezeshkian’s inauguration ceremony will be held in the presence of the head of the Supreme Court of Iran, members of the Guardian Council, and the Judiciary chief in the Iranian Parliament on July 30, he noted.

According to the final results announced by the Ministry of Interior of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Pezeshkian was elected as the ninth president of the Islamic Republic with 16,384,403 votes out of a total of 30,530,157 votes.

Pezeshkian, 69, had served as the vice speaker of the 10th Parliament and the country’s minister of health during the administration of then-President Mohammad Khatami.

The early election was held on June 28 across Iran with the participation of four candidates.

Masoud Pezeshkian and Saeed Jalili won more votes than other hopefuls; meanwhile, the runoff election was planned for a week later as none of the candidates managed to get the majority of votes to become the president of Iran.
