Iran held an election and it didn't go well for the Mullahs

After the helicopter crash on May 19, 2024, that claimed the life of former president Ebrahim Raisi, the Iranian mullah regime swiftly scheduled early elections.

Not being a particularly competent bunch, they announced the fictional date of Friday, June 31. They held the vote on Saturday.

These elections were orchestrated under the watchful eye of the ailing 85-year-old Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, who aimed to use this occasion to solidify his succession plan. While it appeared that Saeed Jalili, a former Revolutionary Guard general close to Khamenei, was set to win, the historically low voter turnout effectively transformed the electoral process into a referendum, expressing the Iranian populace’s overwhelming rejection of the regime and their desire for a transition to a democratic and secular government.

That was bad news for the mullahs, so they didnt say anything.

But hundreds of the resistance units across Iran monitored more than 14,000 polling stations until midnight, revealing that a staggering 88% of eligible voters abstained. This act of mass boycott is particularly significant given that voting is compulsory for certain demographics, including soldiers and prisoners. As a result, in many areas under the regime's control, nullified ballots frequently topped the polls.

The Iranian populace has demonstrated a consistent preference for regime change through various uprisings and protests. Notably, during the November 2019 uprising, Reuters reported that at least 1,500 young people were fatally shot under direct orders from Khamenei as they clamored for their freedom.

Similarly, the 2022 uprising saw Ali Khamenei manage to quell dissent only temporarily through severe and unmatched brutality.

These elections have once again amplified the Iranian people’s call for change, a sentiment robustly supported by tens of thousands of Iranians in Berlin

The Iranians have the very government their parents and grandparents rioted for in 1978.

Enjoy!

These fake disgusting fat-arse Mullahs are in it for the money. Via their extended families, they own vast parts of the Iranian oil and gas sector and other vital sectors. So Mr Mullah might live modestly as a cover for his more secular family being ultra-wealthy/

Via fake “foundations” set up for their extended families.
