Almaty. February 29. Silkroadnews - Supporters of the incumbent president of Iran Hassan Rouhani won 30 out of 30 possible seats of parliamentarians from the capital, it follows from the preliminary results of the parliamentary elections in Tehran, IrTAG reports.
As it became known, the main struggle in the elections both for the Majlis and the Council of Experts of Iran is between two forces - the fundamentalists and reformers. In Iran, there are no political parties in the Western sense. The candidates get concentrated around the certain personalities who have fame, popularity and certain views.
The leader of the reformers Mohammad Reza Aref ranks the top position in the presidential race for seats in parliament in Tehran.
Mohammad Reza Aref served as the first vice-president during 2001-2005.    
One of the leaders of the conservatives Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, according to the latest vote counting, ranks the 31st in the list of candidates. This means he misses the metropolitan office parliament seat.
According to IrTAG in late April in some cities and towns of Iran the second round of elections for the country’s Majlis will be held.
“The run-off for some seats will be held in late (Iranian month of) Farvardin or early Ordibehesht (late April),” – the agency quotes the Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli saying.
According to the minister, Iran will hold run-off parliamentary elections for some cities and towns where candidates could not get the required minimum 25 percent of the votes cast in Friday’s elections.
