Who are the candidates for election to the Iranian presidency
Tehran / BBC
The competent Iranian authorities have allowed six candidates competing in the presidential elections to be held next May, including the current president Hassan Rowhani. Any woman who was not allowed to run. But President Rouhani faces fierce competition in the presidential race. Below profiles of the key figures in the presidential race.
Hassan Rowhani , the
current president Hassan Rowhani , 68 - year - old cleric , quiet printing, born Hassan holds a Feridun name, but others to a spiritual start in his career. And spiritual well- known acumen and rhetorical abilities, a holder of a doctorate degree by law from Caledonian University in the Scottish city of Glasgow.
Rowhani came to power in 2013 after his constituents promised to reform and change. The biggest he accomplished since taking office to reach an agreement with the international powers in 2015 ended a standoff with Iran over its nuclear program.
It was like the agreement to defuse the tension between Iran and the West, and led to a partial lifting of the sanctions imposed on Tehran. But it did not appear to now any economic benefits as a result of the lifting of sanctions.
Although the nuclear deal has allowed foreign companies to return to deal with Iran and contributed to Tehran - according to the International Monetary Fund - a significant growth rate of 6.6 percent, did not have a significant role in reducing the unemployment rate in the country.
The unemployment rate in Iran now stands at 12.5 percent, and young people are mainly affected by unemployment. So this will be the subject of a vital topic in a spiritual presidential campaign, especially if we know that its base depends on the youth sector to a large extent.
Rowhani is married and has four children, but his family does not love the lights and avoid even that his brother Hussein like him in the nuclear negotiations have also been criticized for corruption by opponents of President spiritual militants.
Ibrahim key
is a man conservative candidate Ibrahim al- Din major surprise in this election. It is not widely known among Iranians and had spent the past few years out of the limelight , and he worked in the judiciary. And linking him under the leadership of the Revolutionary Guards strong relationships, and is seen as a favorite candidate for the hard - line stream. It is likely to be the strongest competitor to the spiritual.
A major holder of a doctorate in Islamic jurisprudence, and has had a rapid rise in the judiciary, as it became a deputy attorney general in Tehran , did not exceed the age of 25 years.
In 1988, the major was one of the four judges , members of the so - called "Committee of Death" which decides the fate of thousands of opposition detainees who were executed at the end of periods of their sentences. The executions of those events most secret in the history of post - revolutionary Iran, has not been formally investigated never.
It is unlikely that this issue is raised by the Iranian state media during this election campaign, but he has already discussed widely through social media and by the media in Persian - speaking abroad.
In March 2016, he was appointed principal director of one of the richest and most important religious institutions in Iran, a Astane Quds Razavi Foundation, and assigned the responsibility of supervising the shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad. This is the post position carries a lot of prestige and influence, and led a key set it to the conclusion that many but groomed to succeed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Some observers believe that his candidacy for the post of president but it is a matter of readiness to take over the top job - the position of the guide. If true, the decision of his candidacy for the presidency is not risk free, if lost after a campaign characterized by bitterness will not be easy for his appointment as a guide in the near future.
Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf , the
youngest candidates in the next presidential election is Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, a pilot at the age of 55 years and a former commander of the Revolutionary Guard Air Force. Known Qalibaf to the Iranians, as he served as mayor of Tehran since 2005, and the third attempts to run for president.
The Qalibaf has led a strong campaign in 2005, but lost in the final days when conservatives turned to the support of the populist candidate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Second , after resolving Qalibaf spiritual elections in 2013 and it won 16 percent of the total votes. But this time, it is not a spiritual challenge President, but it is also a major conservative rival candidate Ibrahim , who seems to have the strongest part of the current hard - line support.
And Qalibaf is married and has three children, and is known as one of fashion lovers.
On Monday , May 15, Qalibaf pulled out of the race announced , urging his supporters to vote for the candidate Ibrahim key,
other candidates
and there are three other candidates, but it is unclear whether they will stay in the competition to finish.
Since the withdrawal of another candidate for the benefit of a common tactic in the Iranian elections.
Vaslahi Isaac Jhangere is the current Vice - President Hassan Rowhani, is believed by many observers but that he nominated himself to support the current president and to provide an additional moderate voice , especially in televised debates , characterized by an aggressive speech.
On Tuesday , May 16, Jhangere announced his withdrawal from the competition , "paving the way for the current president of Hassan Rowhani." The candidate Mustafa Mearslem, shall be deemed political Mahafezam hardliners , who enjoys the support of traditional conservatives. Mearslem served as minister of culture in the mid - nineties of the last century, known for his ruthless with his handling of the independent media as it closed several pro-reformist publications.
Mostafa Hashemi Taba candidate from candidates who are not receiving a reputation among Iranian voters. Hashemi served as Minister of Taba and the mining industry in the eighties of the last century, and later became president of the Iranian Olympic Committee. And try his luck to run for the presidency in 2001, but X. resolved between the 10 candidates have not won since only 28 thousand votes of the votes cast in those elections, which 28 million votes numbered.
