The Leader made the remarks on Tuesday in an address to thousands of Iranians from the provinces of Tehran, Gilan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Markazi and North Khorasan on the occasion of Eid al-Ghadir and ahead of the Friday presidential election.
The Iranian nation is to face a test, Ayatollah Khamenei said, referring to the June 28 presidential election.
Iranians will go to the polls on Friday to elect the next president from among the six candidates vying to replace the late President Ebrahim Raeisi.
“Elections are always a test, but now [they are] more [important] than ever,” the Leader added.
Ayatollah Khamenei also expressed hope that the election will be a source of pride for the Iranian nation through their “maximum participation” and choosing “the most qualified” candidate.
“One of the factors that enable the Islamic Republic to overcome its enemy is the election,” Ayatollah Khamenei asserted.
He further advised people to show a high voter turnout in the election to silence ill-wishers, saying whenever participation was low it led to reproaches from the enemies.11:54
