"Gholam shire'i", Iran's Next Speaker of Majlis
Apr 22, 2004
Persian Journal
Haddad Adel as known as "Gholam shire'i" Likely to Be Elected Speaker of Seventh Majlis, an informed source close to the Coalition for the Development of Islamic Iran announced that Gholam-Ali Haddad Adel as known as "Gholam shire'i" will most likely be the next speaker of the Majlis.
"More than 60 percent of incoming legislators in the seventh Majlis believe that Haddad Adel should be elected speaker of the seventh Majlis, while the rest support Mohammed Reza Bahonar for the position. As it stands now, it seems Haddad Adel "Gholam shire'i" "will be the next Majlis speaker".
The source went on to say that consultations are ongoing, however due to close family ties between so-called leader of Iran mullah Khamenei and Gholamali shire'i, it is most likely that Mr. Shire'i will be the next speaker of majlis.
