Iran election laws needs serious overhaul

Nejatollah Ibrahimian, spokesman of the Guardian Council said in response to the reaction seen from the Rafsanjani-Rouhani faction in relation to their candidates being disqualified from these elections, “How can we expect the credentials of 12,000 candidates be evaluated in 10 days? There was not enough time to evaluate all the documents and this was very painstaking for us.”

“Around 6,000 people have protested the result of their qualification evaluation. Iran’s election law needs a serious overhaul,” he added.
