Ahmadinejad took fright from initial reports that the Reform-Seekers camp headed by Tehran mayor (and former RG officer) Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf were pulling ahead of his own candidates. When this trend showed in the early returns from a small number of provincial towns, our Tehran sources report, Ahmadinejad tried approaching the supreme ruler for a directive to “adjust” the ballot count and switch votes to his supporters.
So of course folks, we can guess who, or should I say what, these bogus elections will produce as the "winner". And the people of Iran will just laugh it off as some sort of a joke, just like the people of Iraq thought that Saddam's election was a joke.
