| 2009-05-03 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] A group of Iranian Principlists disgruntled with the incumbent president's course of action has endorsed presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Moussavi. "Time is approaching for the Principlist camp to pick its nominee for the country's tenth presidential elections. However, the camp is not pleased with the policies adopted by its current nominee," read a statement issued by the group on Saturday. The group hit out at President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his administration for what they described as lack of "logic and expertise" in the management of the country. "Due to such fundamental problems, there should be no insistence on the promotion of such techniques in the management of the country." The group went on to announce the establishment of the Mir-Hossein Moussavi Supporters Front, explaining that the party seeks a different political tone in the Principlist camp. The newly established front questioned the efficiency of the current government while acknowledging the achievements of the Ahmadinejad government. Mir-Hossein Moussavi is an independent candidate running for president in Iran's June 12 elections. |
