"Where Is My Vote" - This is the vital question being asked by Iranians in Iran and around the globe.

They are puzzled how Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won a landslide vistory at last Friday's hotly disputed Iran presidential election.

Ahmadinejad,52,known for his strong stance to make Iran the world's next nuclear power, reportedly swept to his second term as Iran's 10th President "winning 63 percent" of the popular vote.

This strong showing against reformist challenger and former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi has sparked street protests and riots in Tehran and elsewhere over the past two days.

Iran powerful supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has thrown his support behind Ahmadinejad,urging the divided electorate to unite.

Meanwhile,Mousavi who earlier claimed he had won the election as Iran next president is not taking his "defeat" in silence.

He has lodged an appeal with the powerful Guardian Council to cancel Friday's vote result calling on his supporters to go on with their protests peacefully.

He also alleged vote fraud and irregularities.

Overseas Iranians staged demonstrations with blown-up images of the vital question:"Where Is My Vote" outside Iranian embassies in Kuala Lumpur,London,Paris and The Hague,the Netherlands.

The dispute on "Who Has Won" the Iran President post will be discussed around the globe.

The legitimacy of Ahmadinejad "re-election" is under a cloud of doubt and dismay as the vote result is disputed as to whether it is truly "real and free" as claimed by Ahmadinejad.

Ahmadinejad's immediate press conference after the announcement of the election result that "The election will improve the nation's power and its future." would produce the opposite impact as Iranians feeling "cheated" of four years of potential positive reforms show their public wrath.

Already,public anger,unrest and riots have erupted.

More such scenes of civil disobedience are expected.

Those with strong conscience, love for their homeland and concern for Iran future and respect on the world stage would want truth and justice to prevail.

One has the natural right to say "NO" to any illegitimate regime and topple it.

We will see more eventful drama unfolding in Iran in the days ahead.
