Leader:

Run-off important as 1st round

Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei cast his vote for the 8th Majlis run-off elections on Friday.

Dropping his vote into the ballot box No. 110 at Imam Khomeini Hosseinieh Mosque, Ayatollah Khamenei called for high public turnout in the second phase of the elections and said the run-off stage is as important as the first round which was held nationwide on March 14.

"The second phase has no difference with the first one in terms of significance. The same motivation, sensitivity and spirit of responsibility, which dragged us to the polling stations, call on us to come forward this time too and cast our vote into the ballot boxes," said the Leader.

IR Leader hoped that a competent and powerful Majlis will be formed in light of today's polling.
