Iranians go to the polls next week to decide who鈥檒l be the country鈥檚 next president. Hundreds of potential candidates were disqualified, some of whom represent the reform movement, leaving just seven men in the running. Whoever wins will inherit a dire economy, with one-in-ten Iranians unemployed, inflation running at roughly 50%, and growing queues to buy everyday items like chicken. The victor will also have to share power with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), and parliament. So what kind of mandate will he have? How democratic are the country鈥檚 elections? And what impact will the new leader鈥檚 policies have on Iran, its people and its place in the world? Ritula Shah is joined by a panel of Iranian guests.
