Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf met on Sunday with president-elect Masoud Pezeshkian to congratulate him on his victory in the 14th presidential election.

The meeting took place at Pezeshkian's office, where Ghalibaf underscored the full support of the Iranian legislature for the new administration after he won the presidency in a run-off election against candidate Saeed Jalili.

Ghalibaf highlighted the critical role of the parliament in supervising the new administration to ensure the progress of the country and the welfare of its people. He emphasized that effective oversight is one of the fundamental duties of the Iranian parliament.

Pezeshkian, in response, praised the enthusiastic participation of the Iranian people in the election, which saw over 30 million ballots cast. He called for empathy and genuine cooperation among all state bodies to address the country's challenges and promote national development.

Pezeshkian to be sworn in at beginning of August

The runoff election, held on Friday, saw Pezeshkian secure 16,384,403 votes following an inconclusive first round on June 28. This election was held to elect a successor for late president Ebrahim Raisi, who tragically died in a helicopter crash in northwestern Iran on May 19, along with his Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and several others.

Pezeshkian's administration will serve a four-year term and is set to be inaugurated and sworn in at the beginning of August. Iran's official news agency IRNA quoted Mojtaba Yosefi, a member of the parliament's presidential board, stating that the inauguration ceremony will be held on August 4th or 5th.

Earlier on Sunday, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, expressed the military's readiness to cooperate with the new administration.

"As in the past, we announce the readiness of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran to cooperate and interact with the 14th administration," Bagheri said.

Within 15 days, Pezeshkian is expected to select ministers for his upcoming government, who will then undergo a vote of confidence in the Shura council (parliament).

The Guardian Council responsible for overseeing the elections has confirmed the legitimacy and accuracy of the electoral process, stating that no complaints or reports of irregularities were filed by the presidential candidates.
