The Reform Front today endorsed Mohsen Mehr-Alizadeh as their candidate in this election. The Reform Front had held meetings with both Mehr-Alizadeh and Abdol-Naser Hemmati, and decided to support Mehr-Alizadeh as he is a Reformist, while Hemmati has expressed a greater desire to run as an independent. The Reform Front had endorsed 14 candidates before the election, but none were approved to run in the campaign.
