Iranians want ‘diversity’, Rouhani says ahead of February election

TEHRAN: Iranian people “want diversity”, President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday as he urged electoral authorities to refrain from disqualifying would-be candidates for a general election in February.

“The people are our masters and we are its servants. The servant must address the master with modesty, precision and honesty,” Rouhani said after a cabinet meeting. (AFP)
