Solo los cuatro precandidatos previstos por todas las quinielas han superado el estricto filtro del Consejo de Guardianes. No ha habido sorpresas en este sentido, y los contendientes serán el actual presidente Mahmud Ahmadineyad; el ex Primer Ministro Mir Hussein Musavi; el ex presidente del Parlamento Mehdi Karrubi y el ex jefe de la Guardia Revolucionara Mohsen Rezai.

Iran Ningún presidente iraní ha perdido al competir por su reelección. Jamenei, Rafsanyani y Jatami accedieron a sus respectivos segundos mandatos en 1985, 1993 y 2001 respectivamente.

The NA has been suspended constitutionally (and unconstitutionally) on several occasions since 1963, and did not function on a regular basis until 1992, after the occupation of the country by Iraq and the following restoration of Kuwaiti sovereignty. Disagreement between MPs and Ministers has been constant in Kuwaiti politics and has caused 4 suspensions of the NA and consecutive legislative elections in the last 6 years. |
