My program is to save the countrys economy, said Rohani in a stump speech at a Tehran stadium on Saturday.
He told his supporters that he seeks to return stability to the nations economy.
With your help, I seek to return stability and tranquility to the countrys economy, and this is possible through prudence, planning and hope, said Rohani, who is also the president of the Center for Strategic Research of the Expediency Council.

On June 14, Iranians will cast their ballots at over 66,000 polling stations across the country, and some 285 polling stations will be set up overseas for Iranian expatriates. The fourth city and rural council elections are also scheduled to be held on the same day.
