Iran Press/ Iran news: Attending the opening ceremony of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) project, Ebrahim Raisi said on Friday that election is both a right and a task to the people and therefore the existing capacities must be employed in such a way that the people could enjoy their right and fulfill their task to choose the bests for the next parliament.
He noted that the people should be able to have a good choice to form a strong parliament which subsequently leads to a strong government.
Ebrahim Raisi stressed the pivotal role of the people in the political sphere of the country as the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini called the people's vote the criterion to rule the country and now the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei knows people and their votes as the foundation of the country.
He said that the advocates of democracy are numerous in the world but it is necessary to see if they are real or not.

Nearly 15,000 candidates will compete with each other to take 290 seats in the Iranian Parliament.
