Iran's top legislative body, the Guardian Council, ruled out on Tuesday reformist demands that the country's disputed election be annulled, Reuters reported. "Based on the law, the demand of those candidates for the cancellation of the vote, this cannot be considered," council spokesman Abbasali Kadkhodai told state television. Defeated moderate candidate Mirhossein Mousavi has disputed official figures which gave President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a landslide, and called for the election to be annulled. The council has said it is ready to recount disputed ballot boxes.
