TEHRAN: Iranian conservatives won a new victory in the second round of general elections both in the capital and the provinces according to partial results, state television reported on Saturday on its website.
The conservatives were on their way to winning 10 of the 11 seats up for grabs in Tehran while a reformer, Alireza Mahjoub, looked like winning the 11th in Fridays voting.
If the results are confirmed, conservatives would control 29 of the capitals 30 seats.
In the countryside, less than 10 out of 36 seats went to reformers, according to official results.
The conservatives had already won a comfortable majority in the first round of voting on March 14.
Complete results were to be announced later on Saturday, the interior ministry said. Turnout was only around 25 percent, which made counting quicker. AFP (Agence France-Presse), 2008
