Iranian presidential election, 1989

The Iranian presidential election of 1989 took place on July 28, 1989, after the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the selection of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the previous President of Iran, as the new Supreme Leader of Iran. Out of the seventy-nine candidates registered to run, only two were approved by the Council of Guardians, which resulted in a very predictable win by Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the previous Speaker of Majlis.

Out of the 16,452,677 votes, each candidate won the following number:
* Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani: 15,550,528 votes
* Abbas Sheibani: 635,165 votes
* Blank or invalid votes: 266,984 votes
