Iranian candidate Rezaei says he 'will use Aref and Haddad' in his cabinet

Iranian presidential candidate Mohsen Rezaei has said he will use Mohammad-Reza Aref and Gholm-Ali Haddad-Adel, the two candidates who withdrew from the presidential race, in his cabinet, Mehr news agency reported.

"I will use both of them and also their plans and ideas," Rezaei added. "I will use any person who is efficient and is loyal to the Supreme Leader and the Islamic system."

ISNA reported on June 9 citing Rezaei that the next administration has to deal with Western sanctions, economic maladies and political disputes at the same time.

He said that he will settle all these issues with the help of a multi-party administration that represents the entire nation.

Rezaei has repeatedly said in his speeches that he will improve the economic situation in Iran and will lead the country to prosperity. He said that he knows a way to solve the country's problems and will be able to address them.

Rezaei is the former commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and the current Secretary of the Expediency Council.

There are six presidential candidates active in the race: Secretary of Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei, Supreme National Security Council Secretary Saeed Jalili, former Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Velayati, Tehran Mayor Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf, President of the Strategic Research Centre of the Expediency Council Hassan Rohani, and former Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Gharazi.
