TEHRAN, Feb. 06 (MNA) -- Reza Taqavi, the head of the Policy-Making Council of Friday prayers leaders, has urged the Friday prayers headquarters across the country to prevent the candidates from launching election campaigns during prayers.

Friday prayers leaders should inform the worshippers about the election law and help them to elect the most competent candidates, Taqavi told the Mehr News Agency on Wednesday.
“Friday prayers leaders will encourage people to massively turn out in the March 14 vote,” he pointed out.
Conservative IIDJP party to release separate list
The umbrella Fundamentalist Coalition and the United Fundamentalist Front will release separate slates, said Amir-Ali Amiri, the deputy secretary general of the Islamic Iran Development and Justice Party (IIDJP), on Wednesday.
However, he said the two groups would put common names, such as Ali Larijani and some other conservative candidates, in their lists.
The member of the UFC central committee said they have been in contact with the United Fundamentalist Front (UFF) to publish a single candidate list until last Sunday, but “unfortunately we received no response.”
UFC is in no hurry to announce its final list for the Tehran constituency, Amiri told Mehr.
However, Parviz Sorouri of the UFF said if the Umbrella Fundamentalist Coalition wants to release a separate list, a high percentage of conservative candidates would be in both lists.
Pointing out that the 30-candidate slate for Tehran has been completed, Sorouri said it is likely that some changes occur in the list or some candidates pull out.
He also said the UFF has not yet discussed who would lead its slate.
No one leaves his own home
Yadollah Tahernejed, spokesman for the Servants of Construction Party, told Mehr on Wednesday that his party is not going to pull out of election.
Denying that reformists would encourage people to boycott the vote after the disqualification of a number of reformists, Tahernejed said the party will present a list, although incomplete, and makes every effort to contest the ballot alongside the umbrella coalition of reformist parties.
He described boycotting the vote as a wrong decision, saying “No one leaves his own home.”
Reformists have played an important role in the victory of the Islamic Revolution, he noted.
SCP candidates will go all out to win the competition in the remaining 22 constituencies, Tahernejed asserted.
Aref pulls out of election race
Mohammad-Reza Aref, former first vice-president in the Khatami government, pulled out of the election race.
Aref was going to lead the reformist list in the Tehran constituency.
Reformist Coalition has declared that mass vetoing of candidates by the vetting bodies is the reason behind Aref’s decision.
