Iranian presidential election, 2009
Iran's tenth presidential election was held on 12 June 2009, with incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad running against three challengers. The next morning the Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran's official news agency, announced that with two-thirds of the votes counted, Ahmadinejad had won the election with 62% of the votes cast, and that Mir-Hossein Mousavi had received 34% of the votes cast. There were large irregularities in the results and people were surprised by them, which resulted in protests of millions of Iranians, across every Iranian city and around the world and the emergence of the opposition Iranian Green Movement.
Many Iranian figures directly supported the protests and declared the votes were fraudulent. Among them, many film directors like Jafar Panahi (who was consequently banned from making movies for 20 years and condemned to 6 years imprisonment),Mohammad Rasoulof (also condemned to 6 years imprisonment), actors and actresses like Pegah Ahangarani (who was consequently imprisoned), Ramin Parchami (who was consequently condemned to one year imprisonment), sportsmen like the whole Iran national football team who wore green wristbands in their game against South Korea to support the movement, scholars like Mostafa Tajzadeh, Mohsen Aminzadeh, Akbar Ganji, Mohsen Sazegara, many religious figures like Mohsen Kadivar, Grand Ayatollah Yousef Saanei, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Mohammad Dastgheib Shirazi, traditional singers like Mohammad Reza Shajarian, defected Basij and Iranian Revolutionary Guards like Amir Farshad Ebrahimi and those who confessed with covered faces.

STORYLINE
Voters in crisis-hit Greece cast ballots in local polls on Sunday in a major test of public support for austerity measures that could trigger a snap election.
The vote pits Prime Minister George Papandreou's 13-month-old Socialist government against opposition parties all campaigning against the terms of a rescue-loan deal with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.
Papandreou warned that he will call an early general election if his government loses significant support in the regional poll, alarming bond markets over Greece's ability to cope with its massive debts.
The vote is the first to be held following far-reaching changes in Greek local government that reduced the number of administrative regions from 54 to 13 and municipalities from 1,014 to 325 and will extend the terms of mayors and regional governors from four to five years.
Polls opened at 7:00 am local time (0500GMT) and close at 7:00 pm (1700GMT), with 9.8 million eligible voters.
Early returns are expected after 9:30 pm (1930GMT) on Sunday.
The Socialists and main opposition conservatives are roughly split in races for 13 regional governors, according to polls.
State-run and private broadcasters in Greece are not doing exit polls for this year's election, citing budget cuts.
The Greek government has endured waves of strikes and disruptive protests against cost-cutting reforms demanded as a condition for loans of 110 (b) billion euros (140 (b) billion US dollars) in international emergency loans.
Papandreou's popularity slipped in recent months, hurt by the ongoing recession and a surge in unemployment and small business failures.
Pressure for deeper cuts in public spending is likely to increase when the EU, later in November, will revise Greece's 2009 budget deficit to 15 percent of gross domestic product - or even higher - from the current projection of 13.6 percent.
The Socialists still appear unlikely to suffer a heavy defeat Sunday, as opinion polls predict a roughly even split with main opposition conservatives in 13 regional governor races.

Not long after his exit from the Prime Ministerial post， Alexis Tsipras returns .
His Syriza party secured victory in Greece′s snap general election.
That′s five general election victory in six years.
Tsipras vowed to rid the government of corruption and pledged a new phase of stability.
Connie Kim has more
Greek leftist Alexis Tsipras declared victory in Sunday′s snap general election， claiming a clear mandate to recover Greece′s stumbling economy.
The left－wing Syriza party emerged as a winner taking 35.5 percent of the votes with the conservative New Democracy trailing with 28－point－one percent.
Tsipras vowed to root out corruption and pledged efforts to create stability.
″It was a difficult battle and I feel vindicated today because the Greek people gave us a clear mandate to continue fighting inside and outside the country and boost our people′s pride. ″
The General election results give Syriza 145 seats in the 300－member parliament and New Democracy 75 seats.
Syriza had formed a coalition with the Independent Greeks，... with the two parties on course to secure 155 seats， a majority in parliament.
Tsipras made no specific comments on the 85 billion euro bailout agreed to in July， but the left－wing party did pledge to implement the bailout program， due for review next month.
Tspiras will have to persuade European Union lenders that sufficient steps have been made to ensure the next payment.
The snap election came after Tsipras was forced to back down from his post as European leaders refused to write off Greece′s debt and roll back austerity measures.
Despite the results， the International Monetary Fund says Greece needs ″substantial″ debt relief.
Greece′s GDP is forecast to shrink 2－point－three percent this year and by one－point－three percent in 2016.

Elections are the celebration of democracy, who will be responsible for running the country is now in your (the voters’) hands. I am completely sure that an even better day will dawn for our country. Thank you.”
5. Various of Mitsotakis greeting supporters, thanking them and leaving polling station
STORYLINE:
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis voted in the country's general election Sunday, as he greeted supporters and reiterated that the future of the country lies in voters' hands.
A former banking executive, the 55-year-old Harvard graduate was born into a political dynasty that produced a former prime minister, a former foreign minister and the current Mayor of Athens.
Mitsotakis has led New Democracy — Greece's right-of-center pole for the past half century — since 2016, steering it closer to the political center with a pro-reform and pro-business agenda.
Elected prime minister in 2019, he has been credited with Greece's successful handling of the pandemic and of two crises with neighboring Turkey, while overseeing high growth and job creation. But a wiretapping scandal and a railway disaster damaged his ratings.
Nevertheless, Mitsotakis has argued against any post-electoral coalition deal, saying Greece needs a strong government to ensure stability and a return to investment grade for its bonds — ending the last salient reminder of the 2009-2018 financial crisis.
Going to a second election would suit him due to the seat bonus, though he's suggested that a third election might be on the cards, if needed.

STORYLINE:
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis voted in the country's general election Sunday, as he greeted supporters and reiterated that the future of the country lies in voters' hands.
A former banking executive, the 55-year-old Harvard graduate was born into a political dynasty that produced a former prime minister, a former foreign minister and the current Mayor of Athens.
Mitsotakis has led New Democracy — Greece's right-of-center pole for the past half century — since 2016, steering it closer to the political center with a pro-reform and pro-business agenda.
Elected prime minister in 2019, he has been credited with Greece's successful handling of the pandemic and of two crises with neighboring Turkey, while overseeing high growth and job creation. But a wiretapping scandal and a railway disaster damaged his ratings.
Nevertheless, Mitsotakis has argued against any post-electoral coalition deal, saying Greece needs a strong government to ensure stability and a return to investment grade for its bonds — ending the last salient reminder of the 2009-2018 financial crisis.
Going to a second election would suit him due to the seat bonus, though he's suggested that a third election might be on the cards, if needed.

STORYLINE
Voters in crisis-hit Greece cast ballots in local polls on Sunday in a major test of public support for austerity measures that could trigger a snap election.
The vote pits Prime Minister George Papandreou's 13-month-old Socialist government against opposition parties all campaigning against the terms of a rescue-loan deal with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.
Papandreou warned that he will call an early general election if his government loses significant support in the regional poll, alarming bond markets over Greece's ability to cope with its massive debts.
The vote is the first to be held following far-reaching changes in Greek local government that reduced the number of administrative regions from 54 to 13 and municipalities from 1,014 to 325 and will extend the terms of mayors and regional governors from four to five years.
Polls opened at 7:00 am local time (0500GMT) and close at 7:00 pm (1700GMT), with 9.8 million eligible voters.
Early returns are expected after 9:30 pm (1930GMT) on Sunday.
The Socialists and main opposition conservatives are roughly split in races for 13 regional governors, according to polls.
State-run and private broadcasters in Greece are not doing exit polls for this year's election, citing budget cuts.
The Greek government has endured waves of strikes and disruptive protests against cost-cutting reforms demanded as a condition for loans of 110 (b) billion euros (140 (b) billion US dollars) in international emergency loans.
Papandreou's popularity slipped in recent months, hurt by the ongoing recession and a surge in unemployment and small business failures.
Pressure for deeper cuts in public spending is likely to increase when the EU, later in November, will revise Greece's 2009 budget deficit to 15 percent of gross domestic product - or even higher - from the current projection of 13.6 percent.
The Socialists still appear unlikely to suffer a heavy defeat Sunday, as opinion polls predict a roughly even split with main opposition conservatives in 13 regional governor races.

Greece's main opposition New Democracy party will vote to choose a new leader in an election that could see the rise of a prominent political family member.
Dora Bakoyannis, a former mayor of Athens, is seeking to become leader of the same centre-right party that brought her father, former prime minister Konstantinos Mytsotakisto, to power.
The rise of Bakoyannis' family mirrors that of George Papandreou, Greece's new socialist prime minister, and the third Greek leader to bear the Papandreou name.
As Al Jazeera's Barnaby Phillips reports, the constant stream of familiar family names is causing some younger voters to question their leaders' hold on Greek politics.

http://www.euronews.net/ Parliamentary elections in Greece which were expected to happen in February are to be put back until April. It follows an agreement with the country's conservatives to drop their insistence for an early poll. The delay will give technocrat Prime Minister Lucas Papademos a few more weeks to pass reforms to reduce the public deficit.

Not long after his exit from the Prime Ministerial post， Alexis Tsipras returns .
His Syriza party secured victory in Greece′s snap general election.
That′s five general election victory in six years.
Tsipras vowed to rid the government of corruption and pledged a new phase of stability.
Connie Kim has more
Greek leftist Alexis Tsipras declared victory in Sunday′s snap general election， claiming a clear mandate to recover Greece′s stumbling economy.
The left－wing Syriza party emerged as a winner taking 35.5 percent of the votes with the conservative New Democracy trailing with 28－point－one percent.
Tsipras vowed to root out corruption and pledged efforts to create stability.
″It was a difficult battle and I feel vindicated today because the Greek people gave us a clear mandate to continue fighting inside and outside the country and boost our people′s pride. ″
The General election results give Syriza 145 seats in the 300－member parliament and New Democracy 75 seats.
Syriza had formed a coalition with the Independent Greeks，... with the two parties on course to secure 155 seats， a majority in parliament.
Tsipras made no specific comments on the 85 billion euro bailout agreed to in July， but the left－wing party did pledge to implement the bailout program， due for review next month.
Tspiras will have to persuade European Union lenders that sufficient steps have been made to ensure the next payment.
The snap election came after Tsipras was forced to back down from his post as European leaders refused to write off Greece′s debt and roll back austerity measures.
Despite the results， the International Monetary Fund says Greece needs ″substantial″ debt relief.
Greece′s GDP is forecast to shrink 2－point－three percent this year and by one－point－three percent in 2016.
