In addition, Karroubi managed only 5 percent of the vote in his home province of Luristan in western Iran on Friday, down from more than 50 percent in 2005, while Ahmadinejad won more than 70 percent.
He said the official results show that Ahmadinejad more than doubled the 2005 showing for all conservative candidates in the western provinces of Luristan and Khuzestan, two majority-Arab districts that have heavily favored reformist candidates in previous races.
