Iran's top legislative body or Guardian Council has said it would not annul the results of the 12 June election as demanded by two reformist candidates, Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hossein Mousavi.
"If a major breach occurs in an election, the Guardian Council may annul the votes that come out of a particular affected ballot box, polling station, district, or city, like how it was done in the parliamentary elections," said the council's spokesman Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei late on Monday, quoted by Iran's state English-language broadcaster, Press TV.
"Fortunately, in the recent presidential election we found no witness of major fraud or breach in the election. Therefore, there is no possibility of an annulment taking place," he added.
