Karroubi withdraws from 7th Majlis elections
Majlis Speaker Mahdi Karroubi announced
his withdrawal from the run-off elections for the 7th Majlis.
He, however, told reporters here Wednesday Majma`-e
Rowhaniyoun-e Mobarez (the Combatant Ulema Assembly that he is its
member) is going to compete vigorously in the run-off elections
throughout the country.
He said he had decided to withdraw from the elections on his
own without telling Majlis representatives or his colleagues in
the Majme` because he felt under the present conditions his
decision to do so would not harm the process.
He stressed that his decision to pull out of the elections
before the elections were held would have adverse effects.
