Iran will hold its presidential election on June 28. This decision was made during an emergency meeting led by interim president Mohammad Mokhber. The meeting was called after the tragic death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash.
Candidates who wish to run for president can register from May 30 to June 3. The campaign period will take place from June 12 to June 27, giving candidates time to present their platforms to the public.
Interim president Mohammad Mokhber, who was appointed on Monday, will oversee a council responsible for managing the country’s executive affairs during this transitional period. The council’s primary task is to ensure that the election is organized and conducted smoothly within the next 50 days.
Mokhber’s leadership during this critical time is crucial as Iran prepares for a new presidential term amidst the sudden and unexpected loss of its sitting president. The council will work diligently to maintain stability and ensure that the electoral process is fair and transparent, giving the people of Iran the opportunity to choose their next leader.
