TEHRAN, Iran (AFP) – Defeated Iranian presidential candidate Mohsen Rezai said on Saturday he was prepared to join a panel on post-election complaints if the other losers do as well, the ILNA news agency reported.

"I welcome the Guardians Council?s decision to set up a special board for the candidates? complaints, even though this announcement came late," Rezai, a conservative, said in a letter to the electoral body.

"This is a good move and I welcome it. If others (Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi) send their representatives to the board, I will do so."

Mousavi and Karroubi have called for the cancellation of the poll, which led to the re-election of Mahmound Ahmadinejad for another four years, and the holding of a new one.

Rezai called on both men to take part in the panel in order to "remove electoral ambiguities and suspicions as well as obtain people?s rights."

On Wednesday, he withdrew his complaints about the disputed election due to the country's "sensitive political, social and security situation."

On Friday, the council said it would set up a panel, including representatives of defeated candidates, to recount 10 percent of the ballot boxes and report on its finding.

Earlier this week, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave the council until Monday to to issue a final decision on the disputed vote. It was not immediately if creation of the panel would lead to an extension of the deadline.

Rezai came in third out of the four candidates, polling just 678,240 votes, or 1.73 percent, according to official results.

The proposed board would include Attorney General Ghorban-Ali Dori Najafabadi; the supreme leader's foreign policy advisor, Ali-Akbar Velayati and MP and former parliament speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad Adel, the ISNA news agency said on Friday.
