In his closing remarks in the final televised debate, Pezeshkian emphasized that he was not a member of any party and became the deputy minister of health in Khatami’s government owing to his professional qualifications.
“I am neither illiterate nor affiliated with any party, nor did I separate myself from the people. I was from within the people and for the people,” he said, stressing that his rivals “falsely” accuse him of being part of a certain government.
Pezeshkian said he plans to enhance national welfare by curbing wasteful spending and enforcing strict adherence to the rule of law to combat corruption effectively.
The politician underscored the need to reform Iran’s international relations as a crucial step towards achieving economic growth and stressed the importance of fostering unity and bridging the gap between the nation and the government.
Expressing confidence in the solvability of the country’s issues, he emphasized the importance of consensus-building and unity in tackling economic woes, positioning his government as one that listens to the voices of the people and prioritizes cooperation over discord.
After the debates wrapped up, most political commentators and economic analysts in unison with the public maintained that what they had gathered from Pezeshkian’s statements was that his administration would not be a third government of any former president but a first one of his own.
In a nutshell, with the new Iranian chief executive’s inauguration being less than 20 days away, just as the whole nation form various social strata braved financial, economic and societal calamities, and took to the polls to cast their ballots in the hope of “change”, so those presidential hopefuls once vying to serve the country should now be acting as “helpfuls” to pave the way for the enhancement of national unity, prosperity and welfare, what Iran and Iranians rightly
deserve.
