Mahmoud Vaezi, the former Chief of Staff to ex-President Hassan Rouhani, has openly critiqued Masoud Pezeshkian's stance on reform ahead of the presidential elections scheduled for June 28. Abolfazl Qadyani, a former reformist leader and regime critic since 2009, has called for a boycott of the elections, labeling them as 'show elections' in an op-ed for Zeytoon. Hardliner candidate Qazizadeh has implied he may resign in favor of 'the best candidate' who can bring about 'consensus'. Meanwhile, widespread public dissent and deep corruption continue to plague Iran, with the regime, controlled by Khamenei and the IRGC, staging what are described as sham elections to maintain power.

Abolfazl Qadyani, once a leading light of the reformist movement & a regime critic since 2009, who has spent years in jail, strongly comes out for boycotting the "show elections" in Iran in an op-ed for Zeytoon, an outlet close to exiled reformists https://t.co/V2i2SNwIWk
