Will elections change the course of Iranian politics? - Al Jazeera English





The ballots are in, but results remain unclear.

On Friday,
Iran voted in its first major elections since sanctions were lifted, and
the polls are being seen as a referendum of President Hassan Rouhani's
policies.


Initial counts show the reformists pulling ahead of conservatives in both the parliament and Assembly of Experts.

Could this election change the political landscape in Iran?
