Frontrunner candidate Ebrahim Raisi said that his campaign would focus on improving the economic situation of Iranians. Citing his slogan – “a people’s government for a strong Iran” – Raisi said “a strong Iran cannot be achieved without a strong economy”, adding his focus would be developing a more transparent financial market in Iran and eliminating corruption. Later, Raisi took to Twitter to launch another slogan – “I have tasted poverty, not merely heard about it” – appealing to poorer voters by pointing to his humble origins.
