TEHRAN – Abbasali Kadkhodaei, spokesman for the Guardian Council, said on Monday that reforming the electoral law is an “undeniable necessity”.

In a Twitter post, Kadkhodaei wrote, “The general electoral policies were issued two years ago. Clause 10 of the policies was: promotion of merit-based selection, with proper preparation in selecting competent candidates within the Islamic Republic of Iran who possess qualities commensurate with the relevant position.”

“Reforming the electoral law is an undeniable necessity,” he concluded.
