Tehran, YJC. A Reformist activist has said that due to diverse interpretation of circumstances, Reformists suffer lack of consensus.
"In
case things go favorable for the candidature of Khatami and Hashemi, many
Principalists would be happy for them to be
elected President,” Abbas Abdi
said.
"Whether
Khatami runs or not is done with because his mere application does not solve
any problem,” he asserted.
"What
is important is Khatami being qualified and running as candidate, which seems
far,” Abdi believed, "His not running comes from lack of common understanding.”
He stated
"Naturally since it does not seem probable that Khatami would apply or that he
would be qualified, everyone fares their own way in the Reformist spectrum. This
is the main reason for disagreement among the Reformists regarding the presidentials.”
Answering
a question as whom he would prefer between Khatami and Hashemi he said "The
third choice,” adding "It is not right if we talk of someone who does not
exist. Sure enough nobody would dislike it if either Khatami or Hashemi would
be President. Not only would they not dislike it, they would like it on the contrary.
Among the Principalists also there are those who would be happy if one of the
two becomes President.”
