Tehran, YJC. Mehdi Chamran has said that he deems the tripartite coalition more powerful than others for administering country.
Speaking to members of the Central
Council of the Islamic Association of Tehran University Independent Students,
Chamran said in answer to a question as who among the principalists would be
able to compete with Mashaee "This issue depends on a lot of things and I think
that some candidates from other parties are not strong enough. I think that the
tripartite coalition is more powerful for managing the country.”
Chairman of the City
Council of Tehran added "The government is currently a separate unit. It appears
that Mr. Ahmadinejad intends to introduce Mashaee, but I do not know the nature
of this.”
"Certainly the tripartite coalition
will do the same. If they want to choose someone, he will come from among
themselves. They prefer themselves,” he further said.
Chamran also asserted "Who
would come, though, depends on what opinions the candidates and the volunteers
have, because the presidential elections are not like those of the Majlis or
councils and not many candidates should run for them. It is the same everywhere
around the world. In the US elections are held between two, so presidential
elections must not face a multiplicity of candidates.”
The tripartite coalition consists
of Akbar Velayati, Mohsen Ghalibaf, and Gholamali Haddad Adel.
