Fear in Iran’s parliament

Sunday Feb. 7^th - A survey among different trends of people in Tehran and some other cities show that  less than %50 of the qualified voters are estimated to participate in Iran’s Feb. 26^th  elections.

A young merchant in Tehran’s bazaar said, “With all the atrocities they have done, people have no tendency to vote. They want the people to vote for those they have already appointed. Participation rate in Tehran will be less than %50.”

A university graduate from the central city of Kerman said, “Most of the people are unhappy with the government. Many of the candidates are disqualified which makes people refrain from voting. Therefore the maximum participation will be %40 “.

A professor at Sannadaj University in Kurdistan said, “Nobody is in the mood of voting. Except those who either are candidates’ family members or have some financial benefits with the government, no ordinary or academic person will take part in the elections”. He estimated that the most optimistic rate of participation in the elections in Kurdistan will be 45 to 50 per cent”.
