Boycott hits Iran election ceremony
Updated on 03 August 2009
Leading moderates in Iran boycott the formal ceremony endorsing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the country's leader. International editor Lindsey Hilsum reports.
Two former presidents, and the opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, stayed away from the event in protest over the disputed election which kept Ahmadinejad in power.
He will be inaugurated for a second term as president on Wednesday - and then has two weeks to form a government, which could be a difficult task.
