Ahmadinejad won?t endorse other candidates
TEHRAN: Iran’s former hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday that he won’t endorse other candidates in next month’s election, after he and his deputy were barred from running.
"We clearly an**unce that we have **t and will **t support any candidate in the upcoming elections," he said in a letter, signed by himself and his former deputy and presidential hopeful Hamid Baghaie. Both were barred from running on Thursday by the conservative-dominated Guardian Council, which vets candidates for public elections. Ahmadinejad’s candidacy came against the advice of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who said it would "polarise" the nation. But the council’s spokesman on Sunday said his disqualification was **t related to the leader’s advice. Campaigning began on Friday for the May 19 presidential election with incumbent Hassan Rouhani facing a tough battle against two conservative rivals -- cleric and judge Ebrahim Raisi and Tehran mayor Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Ahmadinejad’s anti-Israel rhetoric and nuclear ambitions saw Iran increasingly isolated from the outside world. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Ahmadinejad won?t endorse other candidates || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
