Iran Election Update: Voter turnout was at an all time low, below 40% of eligible voters which Pezeshkian took 42%. This low turnout was a clear sign that people in Iran don't give a shit about these sham elections.
Now the election will move to a second round next Friday. The big question is, will Iran back Pezeshkian to bring about "change" or will Jalili, an ultra conservative candidate take the office to continue hardliner policies both domestically and on the international front.
Both candidates have heavy bags on their shoulders, with over 4 decades of criminal oppression of the people, murder of over 100k people and turning Iran to have the highest inequality in it's history with some have astronomical incomes and living a lifestyle that is luxurious even for European standard and the vast majority living under the poverty line, with prostitution, drug abuse and street children at the highest level in Iran's history.
the main difference between the 2 is how they want to keep the regime to survive the coming years, one with extreme taliban style pressure on people, the other with some openings and following the Chinese economical example to open up the country to look more to the west rather than to Russia and China.
