Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused his rivals on plotting to change the upcoming presidential election results, IRNA news agency reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, Ahmadinejad was delivering speech during the Esfahan city trip.

"I tell them that you are engaged in making a scheme, but Iranian people would reveal it," Ahmadinejad told the crowd.

The Iranian president went on saying that 50 million Iranian people should take part in the elections and demonstrate their might by "electing a president with 30 to 40 million votes".

Ahmadinejad said that Iranian Supreme Leader permitted everybody's participate in the elections and nobody should prevent nominating a candidate in the presidential elections.

"The people should determine the best candidature for the presidential post," he said.

Ahmadinejad added that like some individuals willing to dominate in Iran's economy, there are others willing to dominate in the political field.

This is the second time within the last two days when the Iranian president threatens his critics.

Ahmadinejad threatened his critics with unveiling their corruption on Monday, saying that if he reveals some dossiers, some people will loose their position in public opinion.

According to Mehr news agency, Ahmadinejad said during a meeting with people in Khuzestan province on Monday that some authorities are threatening him, saying "you sholud not talk about corruption cases and prevent them".

Ahmadinejad also appealed to his critics, saying the following "you are nobody and cannot decide on behalf of people".

The next presidential elections in Iran are planned to be held on June 14, 2013.

The voters will select the successor of the current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is not able to participate in the elections for the third term according to the country's constitutional laws.

The Iranian president reportedly supports the head of his administration Rahim Mashaei who is also the father-in-law of Ahmadinejad's son.

Some representatives of the ruling Conservative Coalition accused Mashei on fighting with Islamic rules, publishing deviant ideas and transgressing the commandments of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei. They also criticize Ahmadinejad government for weak administration and financial achievements.

Ahmadinejad threatened his critics despite the facts that Iran's national currency dropped by 40 percent in value, the economy faced a 0.9-percent contraction and inflation rate grew to above 31.5 percent during last solar year, which ended on March 19.

According to the latest Corruption Perceptions Index by the Transparency International watchdog, Iran ranked 133rd of 176 countries in 2012 alongside Russia, Kazakhstan and Honduras.

According to the report, about two thirds of the world's countries suffer from corruption.
