In a statement that mirrored disqualified candidate Mohsen Hashemi, candidate Abdol-Naser Hemmati said that he will only serve one four year term as his “goal is for the government to be technical and not political”, meaning his administration will not be restrained by the need for re-election. Hemmati is the governor of the Central Bank of Iran, and has promised that “if this government is formed, it will be the first government headed by economists”.
