The Iranian Islamic Consultative Assembly voted by a majority in favor of re-electing Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf as Speaker of the Parliament for the new term. This election took place during the official session dedicated to selecting the presidium, thereby allowing Qalibaf to maintain his prominent legislative position amidst the delicate political and security challenges facing the country and the region. Qalibaf is considered one of the most prominent conservative political leaders in the Iranian arena, having held the presidency of the parliament since 2020, alongside a notable record of leadership responsibilities and participation in previous presidential races.
