In His Most Exalted Name
Honorable Hujjat al-Islam Imami, member of the esteemed Guardian Council,
Your honor know that I never wanted to talk about the elections. However, I saw the circumstances such that if I do not get involved, there will be a blow to the foundation of the system and Islam. Of course, in the previous round of elections, within a period of 31 days the esteemed Guardian Council approved, invalidated or postponed all the constituencies. But in this round that is more sensitive, up to now 26 days have already passed since the elections, you approved only 45 out of 196 constituencies. If you think there was differences in Tehran, attending to the vote counting in the towns was also possible. It must be tried that no right is ever violated. You also showed all your efforts to make it clear the condition of the second phase of the third round. My representative «1» and two representatives of the esteemed Guardian Council appointed by the gentlemen to attend to the condition of the elections in Tehran came to me a few days ago and bore witness to the soundness and fairness of the elections in Tehran.
