Tehran, YJC. Activist says that the Principalists were disloyal to the Supreme Leader in their disaccord.
Hossein
Allahkaram, a Principalist activist and former IRGC high official, believed
that one of the main reasons for Principalists to meet defeat in the 2013
presidential elections was their disharmony and ignorance of polarity as a
great force in electoral contests, Tabnak reports.
Allahkaram
regarded this disaccord as disloyalty to the Supreme Leader and believed that the
recent wave of inflation as well as the Principalists' hegemonism greatly
contributed to the failure of the Principalist current.
He believed
that disregard for unity and the effects of a strong pole, along with tactical
mistakes on the electoral campaigns greatly influenced the Principalists'
chances of victory.
Allahkaram
also stated that signals by the Supreme Leader upon his voting were a main
factor in the nation’s inclination towards moderation.
He said
"The Supreme Leader’s call for all, even those who did not believe in the Islamic
Revolution, to join the elections, and his saying that people’s vote is a right
of people were among the most important reasons for the moderate and Reformist
to win on June 14.”
