Ebrahim Raisi Iran President

The spokesman for Iran’s judiciary says the replacement for Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani, the incumbent Judiciary chief who has been appointed the head of the Expediency Council, will start working before this Iranian year is finished (March 20).

Iranian presidential candidate Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi and his wife cast their ballots in the country’s presidential and local elections on Friday.

Iranian presidential contender Ebrahim Raisi has once again criticized the performance of the current administration and vowed to settle the problems facing the country using domestic potentials.

Seyed Ebrahim Raisi, who is running for Iran’s president, expressed his gratitude to Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf for ending his race in favor of the cleric on Monday, calling the move “revolutionary”.

Iranian candidate Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf officially withdrew from Iran’s presidential election, and called on his supporters to vote for his fellow right-winger Ebrahim Raisi in the May 19 elections.

Iranian presidential candidate Ebrahim Raisi has sharply criticized the incumbent government’s performance, and said his decision to compete in the votes has not been taken on a whim, but to improve people’s living condition.
