Iranians will vote on Friday in a presidential runoff pitting the reformist Masoud Pezeshkian against ultraconservative anti-Western former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili .
The first round was marked by a voter turnout of only 40 percent -- the lowest in any presidential election since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. came out on top with 42 percent in first round on June 28, but he fell short of an outright victory. Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who came in third in the first round with 13.8 percent, urged his supporters to back Jalili in the runoff, as did two ultraconservatives who dropped out of the race.
"The two candidates have not come forward to solve people's problems, they have come for their own survival."Opposition groups, especially in the diaspora, have called for a boycott, questioning the credibility of elections and arguing that the reformists and conservatives are two sides of the same coin.
Jalili staunchly opposed the nuclear deal with the United States and other world powers, which imposed curbs on Iran's nuclear activity in return for sanctions relief.
