Iran’s ultraconservative Raisi: ‘anti-graft’ poll favourite
153
TEHRAN, June 14, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – Dressed in a black turban and long religious coat, Ebrahim Raisi casts himself as an austere figure and an anti-corruption champion of the poor ahead of Iran’s presidential election.
The 60-year-old ultraconservative, widely seen as the favourite to win the June 18 poll, heads the judiciary and is a “hodjatoleslam”, one rank below that of ayatollah in the Shiite clerical hierarchy.
His campaign centres on a promise to “battle unrelentingly against poverty and corruption”.
He operated on a similar platform for the 2017 election, when he won 38 percent of the vote, well short of the margin needed to prevent moderate President Hassan Rouhani securing a second consecutive term.
