Raisi, the incumbent Judiciary chief of Iran, won the June 18 presidential election by a landslide.
On Saturday, he lauded the “historic” and “passionate” turnout in the June 18 election, which he won overwhelmingly, vowing to make good on his campaign pledges and work to form a “hard-working, revolutionary, and anti-corruption” administration.
“Yesterday, the world once again witnessed a great epic created by an upstanding nation, which opened a new page in modern history before itself with faith, insight and solidarity,” Raisi said in a statement.
He added that the one who was elected in the June 18 presidential election belongs to the whole nation and is a “servant of the Republic in its entirety, whether those who voted for him or the ones who chose the other honorable candidates, or even those who did not turn up at the ballot boxes for whatever reason.
