After the death of Ibrahim Raisi, new presidential elections are to be held in Iran on 28 June. Former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's name was emerging among the contenders for the post of President, but Iran's Guardian Council has banned Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from contesting the elections again. Other candidates including Ahmadinejad have been disqualified.

Let us tell you that in the last elections of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had proposed his name to contest the elections, but he was declared ineligible by the Guardian Council of Iran. After the death of Ibrahim Raisi, he again presented his candidature for the post of President, but this time also his candidature was rejected.

Iranian leader Mahmoud has been considered a staunch opponent of Israel. Along with this, for some time now, he has been expressing his opinion against the views of Iran's political masters. Recently, Russia has supported Iran in the war between Russia and Ukraine, but Mahmoud Ahmadinejad supported Ukraine. Apart from this, he has been criticizing the Iranian government on many other occasions as well.

Ahmadinejad was the President of Iran until 2013

Iran's Guardian Council has barred former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, known for his actions following his controversial re-election in 2009, from running for re-election.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defeated Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in the 2005 presidential election and was the President of Iran until 2013.

Let us tell you that President Ibrahim Raisi and seven others died in a helicopter crash. After that, elections have been announced in Iran.

Saeed Jalili-Ghalibaf is a strong contender for the presidency

Iran's Guardian Council on Sunday approved the country's hardline parliament speaker and five others to run in the country's June 28 presidential election. In this way, six candidates will be in the fray in Iran's presidential election.

Those who have been approved to contest for the post of President include Saeed Jalili, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Alireza Zakani, Amir-Hossein Ghazizadeh Hashemi, Mostafa Pourmohammadi and Masoud Pezeshkian. Saeed Jalili and Ghalibaf are considered to be the two favorite candidates to win the election. Iran's next president will be one of them.

The council's decision marks the start of a brief two-week campaign to replace Raisi, a hardline disciple of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and once considered a potential successor to the 85-year-old cleric.
