The Illusion of Choice: Islamic Republic’s Presidential Elections
(2024) In Cyrus the Great Institute, CGI Perspectives- Abstract
- After the death of Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash, the Islamic Republic of Iran announced new presidential elections. The Guardian Council, a key body loyal to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, rigorously vetted and excluded candidates, ensuring only regime-approved individuals could run. The superficial conservative versus reformist narrative highlights that approved candidates, including the so-called reformist Masoud Pezeshkian, all align with the regime’s objectives.
