The purpose of this article is to explain the relationship between the center-periphery gap and the tenth presidential election (2009) in Iran. To achieve this goal, first, the impact of social gaps on elections and electoral behavior is examined, then the understanding of how the center-periphery gap affects the tenth presidential election in Iran. The results show that the actions of previous governments, which caused a lack of attention to the lower classes of society, and in contrast to the actions of the Ahmadinejad government between2005 and2009, led to the formation of a social base for them in the lower classes of society. In the tenth presidential election, Ahmadinejad has faced rivals who enjoyed an urban social standing. These results also show that most of Ahmadinejad's votes are in the lower and peripheral areas of society, and the farther we go from the center to the periphery, the higher the percentage of Ahmadinejad's votes. The Impact of the Center-Periphery Gap on Elections and People's Electoral Behavior and Ahmadinejad's Victory The result of measures such as the social base surrounding Ahmadinejad's government, class-geopolitical dichotomy in elections, and government actions such as justice stocks, housing, and allocating development budgets to deprived provinces.
