Despite the fact that all candidates in the mullah’s
presidential elections had affirmed their heartfelt and practical
commitment to the doctrine of the velayat-e faqih (absolute clerical
rule), the Guardian Council qualified only eight out of more than 1,000
candidates, who have been among officials responsible for suppression,

century.
The composition of the candidates and the reality that the regime was
unable to offer even one new face to deceive its foreign interlocutors

Maj. Gen. Mohsen Rezai, acknowledging the prospects of a widespread
boycott by the Iranian people, withdrew from the race. |

resorted to new ploys to engage in fraud, vote fixing and inflating the
turnout.
