Iranian presidential candidate Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has announced his support for candidate Saeed Jalili in the second round of the election, in which Jalili and reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian have become locked in a tight race.

While emphasizing his respect for Pezeshkian in a statement issued after the announcement of the official results of the first round, which showed his exit from the competition by coming third after Pezeshkian and Jalili, Ghalibaf called on the revolutionary forces and their supporters to help stop the current that caused a significant part of Iran's economic and political troubles, and not to allow it to return to power.

Ghalibaf emphasized that he had overcome "the political logic that dictated that he stay in the position of Speaker of Parliament" and announced his candidacy "to complete the path we started with Sayyed Ebrahim Raisi", stressing that "the road is not over yet" and the need to support the election of Revolutionary Front candidate Saeed Jalili.

Ghalibaf also said that the upcoming elections are a sign of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Leader of the Revolution's deep belief in religious popular sovereignty, providing the opportunity to compete in a healthy and fair manner for the people to choose their representatives with effective participation.

Candidate Zakani, who withdraw on day before the election, reiterated his support for Jalili, thanking the efforts of Ghalibaf, Ghazizadeh, and all those who supported them, and calling on everyone to exert all their efforts to encourage voting in favor of Jalili in the second round.
