Appreciating the officials that do their best for best possible way of organization a healthy, sound election, the president added, “And now about those dear (friends) that voluntarily and out of all ranks of people are after propagating at this elections for me, I first of all appreciate their efforts.”
He said, “The election atmosphere should be a joyful, amicable environment and no one is allowed to defame, or insult anyone.”
Ahmadinejad emphasized, “Anyone that would insult another (candidate) on my behalf and would try to disturb the soundness of the brotherly atmosphere (of the election) is definitely not related to me in any way, and his deeds are not approved by me.”
The president emphasized that everyone must quite politely respect the rules and regulations of the elections, reiterating, “Abiding by the ethics of the elections is a rule and those who wish to present me to the people should only refer to the performance (of my government), and even in doing that, so, do it if it is really necessary.”
