Iran – show elections – No. 6
Mrs. Rajavi congratulates the Iranian people’s determination and will in the referendum to boycott the regime and its fraudulent elections
Today, the Iranian people witnessed a nationwide boycott and all-out defeat for Khamenei in a sham election of the mullahs’ regime.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance for the transition period, congratulated the Iranian people’s determination and will in the referendum to boycott the regime and its fraudulent elections.
Mrs. Rajavi described what happened in Iran today, which everyone saw, as a “Big No” to dictatorship and the Iranian people’s vote to overthrow the Velayat-e Faqih regime, which has usurped and trampled on the Iranian people’s right to sovereignty. There is no doubt that Khamenei and the Velayat-e Faqih regime will come out of this show much weaker and more fragile, and the process of overthrow will be accelerated. In such a situation, cheating is no longer useful and effective and only causes more disgrace and ridicule of the people.
Mrs. Rajavi added: “The decisive “No” of the Iranian people is a sign of the uprisings that can be heard from now on and heralds the overthrow of religious fascism.”
It is worth recalling that Khamenei in his speech on February 28 emphasized several times that participation in the elections is a guarantee of “national security.” Everyone knows that national security in the lexicon of this regime is nothing but the security of the abhorrent Velayat-e Faqih system. Therefore, all the regime’s security organs, such as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Basij, Ministry of Intelligence, and other repressive organs, must cover up the nationwide boycott with all sorts of cheating and astronomical vote rigging.
The Ministry of Interior, headed by Ahmad Vahidi, the first commander of the terrorist Quds Force, is tasked by Khamenei to use all sorts of cheating, vote rigging, and multiplying the votes counted in the counting room to announce the turnout in the elections higher than in previous shows.
Eliminating the requirement for a birth certificate card with a photo to vote, not stamping the birth certificate cards when voting, accepting five types of ID cards to vote, and buying votes were some of the ways of mass cheating in today’s election show.
It is noteworthy that none of Khamenei’s and the regime’s leaders and officials’ pleas and requests to vote were able to bring the people, who have been familiar with the mullahs’ tricks at the time of elections for five decades, to the polls. This boycott was indeed a great defeat for religious fascism despite all the threats, bribes, promises, and threats. In practice, it was proved that there is no place for choice in this regime and those who vote are both traitors and profiteers or are still among the unaware classes.
