Ahmadinejad will be sworn in for a second four-year term. He was declared victor by a landslide in the disputed presidential election on June 12.
After winning a landslide victory in Iran's closely-contested and disputed 10th presidential election, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be sworn in before parliament between July 26 and August 19.

On Tuesday, parliament's board of directors set July 26 to August 19 as the period for the president's swearing-in and the introduction of the new cabinet, IRNA reported.

Parliamentary deputies will also review the credentials of the proposed ministers during the same period.

Iran's Interior Ministry declared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the winner of the June 12th election with almost two-thirds of the vote.

The defeated candidates, Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi and Mohsen Rezaei, have cried foul once the results were announced and reported over 600 irregularities in the electoral process to the Guardian Council.

However, the council which is tasked with supervising the elections ruled out the possibility of nullifying the presidential election, saying there has been no record of any major irregularity.

Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei, the spokesman of the council, said late on Monday that most of the complaints reported irregularities before the election, and not during or after the vote.

I don't think the election in IRAN should be called as the disputed results it may not be considered valid by western country's because of there defiant on nuclear issue but it is considered by the guardian council who have the final say in this regard.

Ahmadinejad takes his orders from the Ailatola, that is where absolutes take shape.
Remember the old saying "Absolute Power Breeds Absolute Corruption", if we are entering a Global Community, there is no time for Dictators.
