Presidential Candidate Alireza Zakani Rally - Tehran

The Mayor of Tehran and Iran's early presidential elections candidate, Alireza Zakani, is looking on while attending and speaking to his supporters at his last electoral campaign rally in a square in southern Tehran, Iran, on June 26, 2024. Iran is holding snap presidential elections to choose the next president after the death of Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. People in Iran are increasingly showing less interest in casting their vote in the snap presidential election scheduled on June 28 after the disqualification of several candidates by the country's religious Guardian Council. Voter turnouts have hit historically low numbers in elections in recent years as Iran's hardliners increasingly interfere by eliminating candidates who have distanced themselves from the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
