the inflammation and fever of the holding of elections and the competition of different candidates will increase and that the people will be one step closer to the choice that they have in front of them . guard. i say hello again and welcome you thank you for accepting our invitation, in the name of allah , the most merciful, the most merciful. i would also like to thank your colleagues for organizing this meeting . god willing, it will be a good discussion. be healthy. well, since we have prayers, we also have some of them. about 8 minutes, a first report to tehran. let's go back and see

how much time we have to ask questions and go so that , please, six jurists with the ruling of the leadership and six lawyers with the introduction of the head of the judiciary to the islamic council constitute the members of the guardian council. the mission of the council in the election process is to monitor the elections and approve the candidates. article 99 of the constitution is also a duty the guardian council. it has clarified in the election debate . the guardian council supervises the elections of the assembly of leadership experts, the presidency, the islamic council and refers to public votes and referendums . qualification of presidential candidates is approved only by the vote of mehreh guardian council members. in simple words, voting to qualify candidates is done among the members of the guardian council, and the approval of each person requires the votes of at least 7 people . no, the guardian council in monitoring the elections

is not the only request of the islamic republic of iran, for example, in france, the french constitutional council monitors it the elections are for the national assembly and the senate, and article 58 of the french constitution entrusts this council to take care of the integrity of the presidential elections of this country . article 58 of the french constitution is responsible for monitoring the proper implementation of the presidential election law. the constitutional law council handles the objections and announces the election results. in most countries of the world, there is a legal authority similar to the french constitutional council or the guardian council in iran. such as the constitutional court in turkey, the constitutional court in germany, the house of representatives and the house of commons in england which are in charge of both the role of monitoring the qualifications of election candidates and monitoring the accuracy of the elections. in iran, for 44 years, the guardian council has

been responsible for ensuring the safety of elections and people's votes. fateme alikhani of sed and sima news agency. well, mr. rahpak, how have you seen this beginning and this first step of holding the presidential elections ? yes, you are expecting that the elections of this term are being held in a special situation, that is, because of the tragic incident that happened and the honorable president shahid and his companions. we lost attention to some of the principles of the constitution, which caused the elections we used to organize it in a limited time and those

who are involved in this matter quickly made the arrangements. because we have to do all these things within 50 days , and according to the constitution, we have to reach the election of the president, well, the executive branch, other institutions that are involved in the process, and the guardian council, quickly convene a meeting, negotiate, and do the preparations. and alhamdulillah , they have been successful in planning, meeting the deadline, and the things that have been determined, until this stage, which is the stage of reviewing the qualifications that the guardian council according to the law, he had a 5-day deadline for review, and if

he needed, he could extend it by another 5 days , considering the time constraints we had. we tried to limit ourselves to the minimum from the second five days and with the intensive meetings we had, we were able to announce the result sooner , which fortunately happened and fortunately due to the implementation of the guardian council's resolution based on the general policies of the conditions and criteria of the candidates for selection. the presidential election was decided and announced. the ministry of interior also took these into account in the registration process, and the number of 80 people who volunteered. being that according to that decree, they have the necessary conditions, including

executive records, responsibility, and management that they need to have . this law should not open the way for anyone to say to themselves, let's go there . yes, we once had, for example, 2,000, 1,600 people registered, because these criteria were not implemented at the beginning of registration, and we had to check the qualifications. let's pay attention, fortunately , it happened and 80 people came from various executive and governance departments and responsibilities, a number of honorable representatives of the new eras of the parliament, former ministers and it is my place

to thank all those who participated and exposed themselves to registration and this evaluation, and it was really a good move and prosperity. giving the start of the election and this start was a very good start. 80 people from the current and former officials entered this scene, and now , anyway, according to the law and the duties and powers of the guardian council, a limited number of them have been disqualified in the examination of qualifications. it's nothing to me. it should be said that there is no defect because these people who participate in this competition are those who have good qualifications in they have their own responsibilities, right now or in the past, participating in this competition, and

anyway according to the law, there should be a limited number of places . we thank all these dear ones. and all the friends and colleagues who worked in the department of supervision and other departments of security law enforcement agencies to make sure that the work was done up to this stage without any interruption without any problem . it is the most important stage of propaganda, and radio and television have a great role in this matter. let's go, with your permission , to hear the maghrib call to prayer and come back in the name of god, the light of this light. in the name of god, in the name of god, the light is upon

the light, in the name of god, the great god, the great god, the great god. i testify that there is no god but god. i testify that there is no god but god . i testify that muhammad is the messenger of god. i testify that muhammad is the

messenger of god. hai ali al salah hai ali al salah hai ali al falah hai ali al falah

god bless god, god is great, there is no god but god, there is no god but god. accept your obedience and worship. as i presented and reminded in the first part of the program, in the continuation of the process of holding

the presidential elections today, the qualification of the representatives or presidential candidates will be completed. the guardian council has received the names of qualified candidates to the ministry of interior. and the ministry of interior immediately announced that the six final candidates for the presidential election have been determined, and we are investigating this issue tonight on the front page program, which is hosted by the honorable deputy official of the guardian council. to be

the law must obey the law, and we ourselves are looking for armed and efficient people among the people whose qualifications have been approved. we must respect the authority that finally approves this candidate. they decide which candidate to support and which candidate to vote for. there is a filter to select the weapons, the whole world should be here. it is the duty of all of us who live in the society to address all of us legally, as a rule , the opinion of the guardian council must be respected and one of the candidates whose qualifications have been approved must be chosen. the qualifications of the candidates are

important. and who better than the guardian council. when a person comes and registers in the election, it means that he is in the situation he is in every representative who has come to shiroto's company has accepted that it was definitely something to be disqualified. the guardian council had logical reasons for doing this . maybe now is the time to not be elected . they can be approved if they are disqualified if they respect the law. if he is ethical, he is a subject of the islamic republic , otherwise what is not acceptable to the nation, when he breaks the law from now on, be sure that he will break the law later, if he does not accept it. it means that they have not followed election ethics and it is the duty of the iranian people to obey the constitution and the final opinion of the guardian council regarding the approval or disqualification

of important candidates. yes, and everyone should obey the opinion of the guardian council, it is our duty to respect this law and accept the opinion of the guardian council. what is the process of qualifications or certification of qualifications? could you explain a little what it may seem like? now some people say that at least the guardian council may he has explained over the years about what this procedure is exactly, maybe it has fueled some

suspicions, can you open up some of this procedure for us? yes. please see that similar to what is done in the guardian council to check the qualifications, it can be seen in other cases as well . whenever you finally see a selective election , you behave like this. for example, let's assume that the members of the parliament are asking for a vote of confidence in the ministers. well, there is finally some documentation there. those who have the right to vote can vote there and make their own decisions there do they do or in any other type of selection in the guardian council? well, you are aware that in the matter of elections, the supervision of the elections by the guardian council is a part of this election, which is part of the competences, according to the laws

, it should be presented in the parliament as well, and the presidency is also a part of the election. because the supervision of elections is generally the responsibility of the guardian council , therefore, supervision is also carried out in this department , however, this supervision is included in the normal laws to define in detail how this supervision is carried out, what are the steps, first of all , where is the eligibility check, for example, carried out? for example, in our parliament , we have an executive board, a provincial supervisory board. we have the central board and the guardian council in the presidential election. well, it is stated in the constitution that this implementation of the requirements is the responsibility of the guardian council, so we no longer have the steps of the executive board, the opinion boards, and even the central board in the presidential election. according to

the constitution and the ordinary law approved by the parliament , the goman council directly examines the qualifications of candidates and volunteers against al-qaeda. this is because, first of all, it is specified in the constitution that the guardian council itself must do this. important this work is no longer done at the lower levels. well, we have a series of conditions and we have volunteers based on that . the documentation of documents and information that we have has features. the law has obliged the guardian council that if someone exposes himself to this position . the guardian council should ascertain whether this person has these conditions or not. what we do is actually matching the volunteer's status with all the documents and

information obtained or stated by himself. no, if there is an example , well, we have protected those conditions if you don't have it, let's go to the door. we could not complain. however, it should be noted that this process in the guardian council has several characteristics that maybe knowing these characteristics will help to create more confidence, and that is, first of all , the guardian council and the members of the guardian council in different periods of each. he actually comments and makes decisions independently. discussion takes place. there may be ambiguity, someone has an opinion

, does an analysis about a documentary, someone discusses whether this documentary is enough or not. but in the end, when this phase of review and analysis is over, anyone he gives his opinion independently. it means that every noun comes in the middle of yes. each. after the sufficiency of the negotiations was declared that we don't have any more discussions, each member of the respected jurists and respected scholars has a right to vote independently and no one's vote has any dependence on another's vote, that is, this right has been given by the law. and the members are the guardians of this right, this independence is very important, don't vote for us, it's like this

, excuse me, let me ask a question first. in this course, 80 people register and express their desire or volunteer for the election. you know these 80 people. don't you check why there are 80 of us? single face we mentioned one by one, that is, you name one by one. yes, one by one, as soon as you name some people, they all agree. well, of course, we may have this , we may not, the situation is different, but each and every one of those who volunteer to register will be accepted. i don't mean that you don't investigate, but i want to say that decisions are made about some of these things outside of the official meeting of the guardian council, which is obvious, for example , politicians are not the decision-makers. elsewhere, expert fields prepare documents , but no one has any comment about it

he does not volunteer. this statement is not made at any stage except the guardian council. these 80 people, each one's case is brought forward. it may have been a very simple case, it was not complicated . a case is now complicated and it took a lot of time. but it was brought up for what benefits, what is the proof ? yes, some of them are so obvious that, for example , they all agree that he is not a politician, or anyway, you can see that it is discussed about , for example, an important condition that he is a politician , the management of decision making records may be easy it's better , but the case of these 80 people is the case secret votes have been explained for each file. the ballot papers have been explained and about these 80 people , each and every one of the members can vote secretly . yes, voting is also secret. everyone

has an independent vote without anyone knowing about their vote. everyone has voted and then since the voting is over, about each person who has been numbered according to the rule, if someone has at least 7 votes for ihram. yes, we have qualified him , we have qualified him, if he is less than this , he has not been qualified, which means that this happened in this short period of time with the numerous meetings that were held. for all these candidates without exception, this voting happened in the same way, the voting was done and the result that was announced is the result of this process. how many people have been seriously discussed? there are a lot of people. for example, i can't tell you exactly right now. there were 15 people

. how many hours did you have a meeting? during these five days, on some days, we had a meeting in the morning, in the afternoon, even at night. so that almost all respected jurists, because they often live in qom, they live in qom formally. we will stay in tehran for a few more nights and because we are early in the morning we had a meeting until late . at this stage

, it is not foreseen. now, in the next stages, which are the election processes, now also from the advertisements, the manner of holding there, a deadline has been set for your protest. we have a series of interpretations specified in the constitution. political who qualify below to be selected as a subject of iranian origin. iran , a resourceful manager with a good record, trustworthiness and piety , a believer in the foundations of the islamic republic of iran, the official religion of the country, these are the things that came in the constitution, have these been reduced for each of these? well, in the new law, as mentioned , some of these, a little is actually the method.

it has become less and less that, for example, when we say a politician, it means that he must at least have the experience of representing the parliament , of course, he has been told something, but in other cases, let's assume that he is a resourceful manager or, for example, has a good record, for example, have these become indicators that should not be too tasteful, especially as you mentioned now, secret voting, this has its advantages and may also have its drawbacks. or a person in terms of his stances and political tendencies are not opposed to him without actually having any of these reasons . if

we want to divide in some way, these are two categories, a series of conditions are objective conditions, these can be verified with a document like this one, for example, having citizenship. on the premise of proof, yes, some of these , well, the quality conditions of this need to be reviewed and analyzed . well, as i said in the beginning, in the general policies of the elections, one of the clauses mentioned that the guardian council's standards and criteria for the religious political man, the manager the wise man should announce it, define it and announce it. well, the guardian council

did this in several stages in 1992-96 and in 1400, and now, in 2019 , it came for its own reason to clarify these things. similar to a regulation for the guardian council itself, actually after the policies were announced in 1995 after that, he defined these four titles, a religious politician, a resourceful manager, and pointed out some of the criteria, which turned into a resolution based on those policies. it was like what was mentioned just a few years ago.
