The boycott, witnessed nationwide, showcased the determination of the Iranian people to break free from the shackles of dictatorship.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance for the transition period, lauded the Iranian people for their resolute stance against the regime’s attempt to manipulate the electoral process. Describing the day as a resounding “Big No” to dictatorship, Mrs. Rajavi emphasized the people’s demand for the overthrow of the oppressive Velayat-e Faqih regime that has long suppressed their right to sovereignty.
The significance of this collective rejection is paramount. Khamenei and the Velayat-e Faqih regime emerge from this ordeal weakened and more vulnerable, hastening the process of their eventual overthrow. In this climate, deceitful tactics lose their effectiveness, serving only to further tarnish the regime’s reputation.
Despite Khamenei’s insistence that electoral participation guarantees “national security,” it is evident that this rhetoric merely masks the regime’s self-interest. Security organs such as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Basij, and the Ministry of Intelligence engaged in widespread cheating and vote rigging to conceal the nation’s widespread boycott.
The Ministry of Interior, under the leadership of Ahmad Vahidi, a former commander of the terrorist Quds Force, was tasked with orchestrating fraudulent practices, including the elimination of photo-bearing birth certificates as a voting requirement and accepting multiple forms of identification.
These desperate attempts to inflate voter turnout only underscore the regime’s vulnerability. Notably, the regime’s leaders’ pleas and requests failed to mobilize the people, who have become adept at recognizing the regime’s manipulations over five decades of elections.
This boycott represents a substantial defeat for religious fascism, demonstrating that there is no room for choice within the oppressive regime. Those who voted were either coerced, deceived, or remain among the uninformed classes. The Iranian people’s resolute ‘No’ sends a powerful message, laying the groundwork for a future free from the grip of oppressive rule.
