TEHRAN – The outgoing Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has called on his fellow principlists to push for what he has called “neo-principlism”. 

“A serious change in the workings of the principlist current is one of the demands of the day,” Qalibaf, who withdrew presidential candidacy in favor of Ebrahim Raisi in the May 19 presidential election, said in an announcement on Saturday.

 “Move on the path to neo-principlism should start as soon as possible,” Nasim quoted the mayor as saying.
However, Qalibaf said, the new movement should aim at preserving the revolutionary values of the Islamic Republic.
