Tehran - Incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is leading the polls in Iranian elections, receiving almost 66 per cent of the votes counted so far, the news network Khabar reported. With more than 61 per cent of the votes count, mainly from the provinces, Ahmadinejad had a clear lead in the polls with more than 14 million votes. His main challenger, Mir-Hossein Moussavi has received 31 per cent of the votes. Slightly fewer than 33 million ballots were cast, the Interior Ministry said, meaning that Ahmadinejad would need about 2.5 million more votes to win the election. However, Moussavi claimed in a press conference in Tehran that he was the clear winner of the votes and accused the government of having manipulated both the voting process and the counting.
