Opposition leader Mehdi Karrubi has clarified comments he made earlier this week recognizing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as Iran’s heard of government, despite ongoing doubt about the legitimacy of June’s presidential election.
On Wednesday, he said that recognizing Ahmadinejad does not mean that he is retreating from the opposition. He also accused Guardian Council Secretary Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati of being a traitor to the people’s vote.
“I still believe that there was a fraud in the election,” he said. “However Ahmadinejad is the ‘Head of the State,’ and despite all the protests, was able to be the executive chief. Therefore he should be held accountable for his performance.”
