Tehran: Iran will hold its 2009 presidential election on June 12, when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is expected to stand for a second four-year term despite mounting criticism over his economic policies.
Iranian media said on Sunday that the Guardian Council, a constitutional watchdog, and the Interior Ministry had agreed on the date.
"The 10th presidential election ... will be held on the 22nd of Khordad of next year," election headquarters head Alireza Afshar said.
