Zibakalam said in an interview with a local News Agency that the President-elect
has formed workgroups to introduce a number of candidates among which the
cabinet members to be chosen.
He
said that Rouhani is going to decide between the chosen group after consultations
with intimate figures and the Majlis Board of Directors.
"What
is sure is that Messrs. Hashemi, Nateq, and Khatami are among the most intimate
and important consultants of the President-elect, but none are willing to
impose their ideas on him,” Zibakalam asserted.
He added
"The 11th administration is being formed; therefore the ideas of Hashemi,
Khatami, Nateq, the household of Imam Khomeini_ especially Seyyed Hassan
Khomeini, and many of the moderate figures of the system who would like
moderation to reign and the extremism which had cast a shadow over the country
in the past 8 years be lifted can be helpful.”
He also
pointed to the status of Reformists in the upcoming administration and said
that no Reformist considers himself entitled to anything in the Rouhani administration.
Providing
comments on the positions taken by the Principalist side at the election time,
Zibakalam asserted "Principalists were like the Grim Reaper for Rouhani's election.
They would do their best to hinder his victory, but the public will was set for
choosing Rouhani as the next President. It is a pity that even now some Principalists
have adopted anti-Rouhani positions and demand shares. They say if they are not
given their share they will not vote for the proposed ministers in the Majlis.”
The
analyst said "The President-elect must stand up to these people and reject
them. The smallest retreat by Mr. Rouhani before Principalist demands, especially
in the Majlis, will bring about further retreats.”
"Some
Principalists stand up against the President-elect one by one and warn him
against using the seditious, Reformists in fact, in the to-be administration. This
is done either as a threat, advice, or brotherly recommendation. The Principalists
mean that they do not regard Rouhani as a Reformist and they hope that he will
not use any Reformist whom they relate to sedition.”
