Tehran, YJC. The Reform wing has assigned a workgroup to announce the Reform electoral representative in a few days.
Mohammadali
Najafi, spokesman of the Reform coalition workgroup, said in a news conference
on Sunday that currently two public currents play a major part in the
elections, one being the Reform movement bearing Khatami as their sign, and the
other being the moderate movement represented by Hashemi.
Najafi
added "Right now we need to unite. Our original choice was Hashemi, but for the
position adopted by the Guardian Council our mutual candidate was canceled out.
He added
that for their mode of thought and administrative record, Aref and Rohani are
the two choices available to represent the movement.
Najafi
then stated "Yesterday Mr. Khatami and a number of the country’s political
elite negotiated about the issue and formed a workgroup of 7 with the duty to
hold talks with the two candidates and prepare the ground for a coalition.”
He also
said that a wide range of evaluative methods will be used to make out the
fittest for representing the Reform movement and that on the following Saturday
the result will be publically announced.
