Capetown, South Africa (IP) - Iranian expatriates residing in South Africa are participating in their country's snap presidential election at a polling station set up at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in the center of Cape Town.

Iran PressAfrica: Despite a working day in South Africa, voters have been steadily arriving at the polling station to exercise their democratic rights. Officials expect the turnout to increase as the day progresses. Voting for the 14th presidential election of the Islamic Republic of Iran is in four key cities across South Africa, including the capital Pretoria.

The snap election was called following the tragic death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash last month. The participation of Iranians living in Cape Town, a city at the southern tip of Africa, underscores the global reach of this pivotal election. The outcome will have far-reaching implications for Iran's domestic and foreign policies in the future.

The voting process in Cape Town is part of a broader effort by the Iranian government to engage its diaspora in this crucial election. As Iranians around the world make their voices heard, the world watches closely to see who will emerge victorious and lead Iran through the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
