(Response of the Supreme Leader to the reporter of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting)
- Kamran Najafzadeh: If you would like, please share some points about the second round of the Islamic Consultative Assembly elections with the people.
* In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I extend my greetings to our dear people and ask the Almighty God to grant everyone the success to fulfill their duty on this day and in this great and important task. My recommendation is that they take the second round of the elections as seriously as the first round. The more votes the representatives who go to the parliament receive from the people, the stronger their resolve, the greater their ability, and the more credible they become; the more votes they have, the better they can work; in addition to the fact that the election itself is an important and fundamental task. God willing, may the Almighty God guide the hearts of the people to what is right and in our best interest.
- Kamran Najafzadeh: Thank you very much. Thank you.
* Long live.
