Iran has a new president. Hasan Rowhani replace Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

 




Newly elected president of Iran Hasan Rowhani called for 'rationality and moderation' after he won more than 50 per cent of the vote.
Thousands of supporters danced in the streets after Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad confirmed his victory earlier this evening.

Rowhani was the lone moderate candidate in the race and supported by reformists in a race that once appeared solidly in the hands of Tehran's Islamic establishment.

He will replace Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who has already served the maximum of two terms
