Khatami's party threatens to boycott Iran election
TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Mohammad Khatami's political party has threatened to boycott Iran's parliamentary elections unless bans on hundreds of aspiring liberal candidates are promptly reversed, newspapers and officials said on Monday.
"A large number of candidates whose qualifications have not been approved... will be approved after reviewing their cases," Ahmad Azimizadeh, head of the council's election supervisory board in Tehran, told the official IRNA news agency.
