TEHRAN – Mohsen Hashemi, chairman of the Tehran city council, says the demands of those who voted in the 2017 city council elections have not been met yet.

“In the 1396 (2017) elections, people had a record turnout and the number of the votes were three times more than the previous elections, but the people’s demands have not been met yet,” Hashemi said in an interview with Mehr published on Saturday.

He also said he has no plans to run for president in the 2021 presidential elections.

“Basically, I do not think about the presidential elections,” Hashemi stated.
