Over 1000 people had registered to be candidates in the Iranian national election. However, under the Iranian Islamic Constitution all candidates have to be approved by the Guardian Council of Ayatollahs who are appointed by the Supreme Leader, also appointed. The Guardian Council found that all candidates but 6 were not worthy enough Muslims to be allowed to run for public office. 2 of the over 1000 rejected candidates were very prominent Iranians. The Supreme Leader made this statement which seems very reasonable and democratic until his order to the Guardian Council is considered. He ordered them to reconsider 2 or the 1000 rejected candidates.
