Iranian president's press advisor Ali-Akbar Javanfekr announced that Ahmadinejad would continue his previous policies after winning the polls in the 10th presidential election, Fars News Agency reported.
   
Following the announcement of early election results by the Interior Ministry which indicated a landslide victory for the incumbent president, Javanfekr said that Ahmadinejad will unveil more "corruption cases" in his second presidential term.

"The fight against economic corruption and illegal enrichment is a general demand and conforms to the principles of the Islamic Revolution," he added.

"The turnout and the vote for Ahmadinejad demonstrates strong support for the way the government has conducted its policies and is a vehement 'no' to our enemies," he went on saying.

Winning the polls "demonstrates the clear support and confidence of Iranians in the Islamic Republic and in the Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran (Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei)," Javanfekr told AFP.

The remarks by the presidential aide came before final election results surfaced. According to the final results Ahmadinejad won a majority of votes and was re- elected for a second four-year term.
