His Eminence stated that the election is a matter of people’s attention to the outcome of the country and the future of the system and said, “The presence of the people at the ballot box guarantees the health of the election and frustrates the enemies from being able to reduce the people’s interest in the Islamic Revolution and the system.”

His Eminence said that despite the problems in the country, the people are always interested in the system and the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] and will never leave the battlefield and said, “Today we must know that the passionate presence and election of the worthy representatives are two important tasks in the election.”
He stated that the progress of the country depends on the choice of the most worthy and the best candidates and said, “If the most worthy people are elected, the problems of the community will be solved but if the most worthy people are not elected, not only will the problems not be solved, but the problems will increase day by day.”
Hujjat al-Islam Mojtahed-Shabestari said that today we need to elect resourceful, competent, strong and committed people to the Islamic Consultative Assembly and added, “We know that the government comes from the heart of the Islamic Consultative Assembly. Thus, if worthy representatives are elected, we will also see worthy officials and a government. If we want to have a strong and efficient government, we must form a strong and efficient Islamic Consultative Assembly.”
