The Iranian press has reported votes tally from overseas for the ‘disputed’ Iranian presidential elections. It seems Iranian population in Kuwait has opted for conservative Mahmoud Ahmedinejad over the left wing Mir-Hossein Moussavi, where as Mir-Hossein Moussavi has done well in UAE region by scoring better than his counterpart. Rest of the picture within GCC is shifted towards Ahmedinejad. Bear in mind that the entire election results are in doubt. Here is the vote tally for Kuwait and other regional centers in GCC:

    results were announced too early .... very fishy .....
