Rallying for Ahmadinejad, June, 2009

Supporters of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during a street rally on the last night of campaigning in Tehran, June 11, 2009. An apparent late surge in popularity for the main opposition candidate in the watershed election, Mir Hossein Moussavi, turned the race from an expected coronation of Ahmadinejad into a genuine contest, with some polls showing Moussavi with a sizable lead just before the election.
