Iran sets March 2012 for parliamentary election | |
2011-04-18 | |
TEHRAN, Iran - IranÂ’s official news agency says parliamentary elections have been set for next March. The report Sunday by IRNA quotes Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar as saying the voting will take place March 2, 2012. Plans for the election could be a springboard for protests by IranÂ’s opposition after facing a relentless crackdown since unrest following the disputed 2009 re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. But it also may be a test of strength for Ahmadinejad, who has been challenged by the current parliament.
