Minister seeks the presidency of Ahmadinejad Iran


The Minister of Roads and Urban Development of Iran Ali Nikzad  ( photo ), an ally of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, announced Saturday his intention to stand in thepresidential elections of June 14, according to the local agency FarsNikzad's announcement puts a figure close to Ahmadinejad as a potential candidate in a race in which the ultraconservative Islamists , the "principalistas" , clustered around the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, intended to marginalize.  The principalistas have accused Ahmadinejad of environment "deviationism" , since they considered that questions the primacy of religious power in the theocratic system of the Islamic Republic, as well as rate the president's staff "inefficient and corrupt"Nine other candidates, mostly principalistas , although no major endorsements so far, have indicated their intention to run for president next June Iranians. For months, Ahmadinejad, who can not run for these elections to have exhausted the two four-year terms that allows the Constitution, has promoted the figure of his closest advisor, Esfandiar Rahim MashaeiHowever, it is unlikely to be supported Mashaei's candidacy because Khamenei is directly confronted with what Nikzad could take his place as a candidate of that section of the regime. The Shiite Muslim clerics and jurists senior comprising the Council of Guardians of the Revolution, very close to Khamenei, have the power to veto candidates . Mashaei has been disqualified several times for some of them to consider him a deviant. With the outlawed religious opposition, reformers virtually excluded and marginalized Ahmadinejad environment, the next presidential election would be the most restricted since the introduction of Shiite Muslim theocratic regime of Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979
