On Saturday, the Iranian Ministry of Interior announced the victory of candidate Masoud Pezeshkian in the Iranian presidential elections runoff, following the completion of vote counting in tens of thousands of polling stations across the country.

Pezeshkian garnered 53.6% of the votes, while his conservative opponent, Saeed Jalili, received 44.3% of the votes.

He is scheduled to take the constitutional oath before the Parliament at the beginning of August, as per Iranian news reports.

Within 15 days, he is expected to appoint ministers for his upcoming government, who will then undergo a vote of confidence.
