Hadad Withdraws from Presidential Race


Presidential candidate and former Majlis speaker Qolam-Ali Hadad Adel has withdrawn from the June 14 presidential race in favor of other principlist candidates. Hadad, along with Qalibaf and Velayati, was a member of the Coalition of 2+1. His withdrawal still leaves five “principlists” (conservatives of different shades) in the race.

He comes across as the most pragmatic among ultra conservatives. Aref should follow suit.
