Tehran-APA. Iran’s moderate former president Mohammad Khatami withdrew on Monday his candidacy from a June presidential election, allies said, a move analysts say may boost President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s re-election chances. APA reports quoting Reuters.
“He has decided to withdraw ... but he will back another moderate candidate who will be announced shortly in a statement by Khatami," one close ally, who declined to be named, told Reuters.
hatami’s aides did not name the politician who Khatami would back but the former president had a meeting with another moderate candidate, former prime minister Mirhossein Mousavi, on Sunday.
Mousavi’s office said Khatami backed Mousavi’s candidacy and his withdrawal was aimed at "not depriving Mousavi of much-needed votes."
