Iran's most divisive president since the 1979 revolution left office on Saturday, August 3, 2013. His successor, Hassan Rouhani, is now tasked with undoing the damage Ahmadinejad wrought at home and abroad.

Netizens published photos, posts, messages and tweets in to celebrate his departure. Some remembered the 2009 protest movement after a controversial presidential election that elected Ahmadinejad to a second term. #AhmadiByeBye is the slogan and hashtag. Several photos and cartoons of the former president are shared on Twitter.

Many Iranians and non-Iranians say Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lied about different issues for eight years.

Hadi Nili, an Iranian journalist and a former contributor to Global Voices shared the same thought:

“Tonight #Iran loses one of its bests; the best in lying. #AhmadiByeBye“, writes @rezayekhali

Salar tweeted [fa]:

تو این ۸ سال هیچ سوالی رو مستقیم جواب نداد. همیشه با تمسخر سوال کننده رو پیچوند. #AhmadiByeBye

— Sallar (@sallar) August 2, 2013

In 8 years he did not answer a single question, always with mockery he skipped the questions.

The ghosts of the previous election and the Green Movement is still present in today's messages.

Mehdi Saharkhiz tweeted:

Today right now he is moving out of where he should have moved out of 4 years ago. But what matters is he is gone #AhmadiByeBye #iranbrief

Mehdi Saharkhiz reminds us about controversial presidential election when many claim the election's result was rigged:

He is an ex. Just an ex. I can't say president. The real president is still under house arrest. #AhmadiByeBye is what he is #iranbrief

Several Iranians shared their happiness of Ahmadinejad's departure.

Tara Aghdashloo tweeted:

My boyfriend walking around the house singing #AhmadiByeBye — and he's not even Iranian.

Josh Sharyar shares the same joy and says:

Can't be too happy about Ahmadinejad leaving. Too many journos, activists, lawyers, citizens still in jail because of him. #AhmadiByeBye
