Head of Iran's Parliament (Majlis) Cultural Commission Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel has expressed his readiness to hold a televised debate with Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Press TV reported.
According to Tabnak, the former parliament speaker said Thursday that he was ready to debate with defeated candidate Mousavi over the country's 10th presidential elections.
On Tuesday, the defeated presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi voiced his readiness to hold televised debates to clarify his stance over elections and post-election events.
According to figures released by the Interior Ministry, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won a landslide victory in the election on Friday, with 24,527,516 votes (62.63%) as opposed to 13,216,411 votes (33.75%) received by Mousavi.
Mohsen Rezaei placed third with 678,240 votes while Mehdi Karroubi came fourth with 333,635 votes, the ministry said.
Mousavi has rejected the results as a 'charade', saying that the vote count had been affected by 'irregularities'.
The release of official results has triggered widespread rallies by Mousavi supporters. On occasions the demonstrations have turned violent resulting in casualties.
The Mousavi camp has denounced the violent protesters saying they are simply 'miscreants' trying to take advantage of the situation and not supporters of the defeated candidate.
