Ahmadinejad Registers for Iran's Presidential Election

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has registered as a candidate for the upcoming presidential election following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. Ahmadinejad's candidacy puts pressure on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as Ahmadinejad previously challenged his authority. The election, scheduled for June 28, has seen other notable registrations, but it remains uncertain who will be allowed to run. Ahmadinejad, a polarizing figure, remains popular among the poor despite his controversial past and allegations of corruption.

Ahmadinejad Registers as Candidate for Iran's June 28 Presidential Election

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other notable figures, including moderate Ali Larijani and ultraconservative Saeed Jalili, have registered to run in the upcoming presidential election following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi. The Guardian Council will vet the candidates, with the final list to be announced on June 11. Ahmadinejad, previously sidelined, aims to address economic issues and corruption, while Larijani, disqualified in 2021, seeks another chance. Voter turnout remains a significant concern.
