Bahman Sharifzade a cleric close close to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad\u2019s top aide, Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaee, said Mahaee will register for presidential election on Saturday which is last day of Candidate registration for the presidential election.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMashaee has more than 40% of votes and all of parties, from reformists to principalists admitted to his popularity,\u201d Sharifzadeh said in an interview with reformist Shargh newspaper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mashaee was labeled by Principalists as part of a “deviant current” that critics say seeks to undermine Islamic rule in Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given to Mashaee\u2019s controversial remarks<\/a> in recent years, the conventional wisdom is that he will be denied entrance to the Presidential race by the Guardian Council.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no reason for denying Mashaee to enter to the Presidential Election,\u201d Sharifzadeh said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mashaee who was the Chief of Staff in Ahmadinejad\u2019s administration, left the office as Ahmadinejad suggested and became the head of the Non Aligned Movement Secretariat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then Ahmadinejad began a speaking tour around Iran in the beginning of the new Iranian year and Mashaee was present at each step.<\/span><\/p>\n
