Iranian conservative duo rumored to be gearing up for parliament run
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s conservative rivals appear to be gearing up to enter parliament.
Rumor is already spreading in Iran’s political circles about two former conservative presidential candidates’ determination to run in the 2020 parliamentary elections, a highly important vote that could help clarify the blurriness of what may be ahead in the 2021 presidential polls.
Ebrahim Raisi, who was the primary candidate of the conservatives in the 2017 presidential elections and who lost to incumbent moderate Hassan Rouhani, is rumored to be back on the stage to once again test his popularity on the political stage.
