Iranian presidential candidate Mohammad Gharazi says he will form an anti-inflation administration if he receives enough votes to win the June 14 election.Speaking at a press conference in the southwestern city of Ahvaz on Wednesday, Gharazi said he would be extremely careful about expenditure, especially when it comes to funding national development projects.
He praised some of the development projects of the incumbent administration of President Ahmadinejad, but argued that they have cost four times more than the average.
The former Iranian telecommunications minister further noted that he would divide Tehran into six small provinces, and allow all of them to choose their own governors.
Gharazi will be facing Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, President of the Center for Strategic Research of the Expediency Council Hassan Rohani, lawmaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, Secretary of Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei, former Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili, and former First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref in the June 14 presidential election.
Over 66,000 polling stations will be set up across the country. Expatriates will also be able to cast ballots at 285 polling stations that will be set up in their respective countries.
The president of Iran is elected for a four-year term in a national election after the Guardian Council vets the candidates.
