Tehran, YJC. Activist says that in case elections are to draw to the second round Qalibaf will no doubt be one side of the competition.
Abbas Abdi, a Reformist, said "I believe that if Reformists and Mr. Hashemi step
forward and if either Aref or Rohani steps down for the other, under the best
circumstances they can be the winner. Under worst situations they will get to
the runoff with another candidate which will very probably be Qalibaf,
but it is highly expected that there the candidate endorsed by
the Reformists will win.”
He added "If the Reformists are not active and they are to go on as the
previous days, then two candidates will find way to the runoff, one of
which will be Qalibaf and the other cannot be decided yet for sure. But if that
other person is a Reform candidate then we will have a lively round of
elections.”
He added "I believe that if the Reformists make consensus on either one of
these two and the other one resigns in his favor, chances for the remaining
candidate to win will be high. So, the Reformists’ chances of victory depend on
their actions in the couple of days ahead.”
