Massoud Pezeshkian received 16,384,402 votes out of a total of 30,573,931 votes, Iran International News reported.
However, the voting percentage stood at 49.8 percent, which is relatively lower than the first phase of the elections, as more than 50 percent of eligible voters boycotted the elections.
Voting for Iran's presidency began Friday morning, with two top contenders, Massoud Pezeshkian and Saeed Jalili, an theorist and former chief negotiator in nuclear talks between Tehran and world powers, in the race.
Voting was held in Iran on June 28, and the next day, Mohsen Eslami, spokesman for Iran's election headquarters, announced the results of the first round, in which Pezeshkian received 42.6 percent of the total votes, while Jalili received 38.8 percent.
Despite leading the race, no candidate could cross the 50 percent mark required to win the presidential race.
Iran's 14th presidential election, initially scheduled for 2025, was rescheduled following the unexpected death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on 19 May.
