TEHRAN – Yadollah Tahernejad, a reformist politician, has said should the reformists come to the conclusion that Iranian people’s livelihood would be better off under a President Ali Larijani, they would endorse him for the post in 2021 election.

“Anyone who can run the country properly, we’ll be at his service,” Tahernejad said in an interview with Tasnim published on Wednesday.

“We were under a great deal of pressure in the first round of the Majlis speaker election, because of our support for Mr. Larijani [vs. reformist Mohammad Reza Aref]. But we were later proven right, and now everyone acknowledges that Mr. Larijani acts very tactfully in running the Majlis,” he added.
