Analyzing the new appointments made by the Iranian government, the MP Elias Naderan stated that the move is aimed to influence the next elections in the country.

"The assignment of some influential government officials during a week as the Parliament (Majlis) is not to hold any open session led me to remind the readers of some points," he wrote. 

"Based on the experiences of the ninth [Islamic Republic of Iran] government and his chanted slogans on fighting with corrupt economy figures, Mr. Ahmadinejad was expected to revise the appointment of some government managers. He was supposed to make up for the shortcomings of the ninth administration and remove the concerns of his defenders including members of Hezbollah (party of God) but actually the opposite happened," Naderan noted. 

"On the contrary, he took actions against what society demanded. From one hand Mr. Ahmadinejad removed a number of ministers who were mostly dedicated to serve the Islamic Republic including Lankarani, Mohseni Ejei, Saffar Harandi, Fattah and Jahromi   [respectively former Health, Interior, Culture and Islamic Guidance, Energy, Labor and Social Affairs Ministers] and made new appointments of some whose unpleasant and negative characters are known to the majority of people and elites," the MP said. 

He added: "A few days ago, the Minister of Oil Mas'oud Mir Kazemi assignrd Mr. Qal'eh Bani as the new managing director of National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC). Earlier when Mr. Qal'eh Bani was to be appointed as the head of Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran (IDRO), his suspicious financial activities was revealed through some documents published by Alef website [belongs to the Principalist MP, Ahmad Tavakoli].

Later Qal'eh Bani filed a lawsuit against the website but to no avail, since the managing editor of Alef was acquitted of charges. At that time I think that the Minister of industry, Ali Akbar Mehrabian had made such a decision by himself to perpetuate his position, but now it's clear that the decisions are made at a higher rank. We must bear in mind that the financial authority of NIORDC managing director is much more than any other in both governmental and nongovernmental organizations of the country." 

"Such removals and assignments enhance the suspicion that these are intended to put an impact on the forthcoming elections, particularly when it is reported that in some headquarters which backed Mr. Ahmadinejad in the late presidential election, Mr. Mashaei, the presidential office chief of staff has drawn up guidelines including that they are not to form a coalition with other groups for the next elections of Cities and Villages Councils.

 Simply note that the issue has been voiced by a removed first Vice-President who holds several other cultural and executive positions in the government but emboldened to intervene at the council elections," Naderan maintained. 

His last reference is to last summer, when several officials, above them Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei opposed the appointment of Mashaei as the first Vice-President by Ahmadinejad and forced him to replace Mashaei by Mohammad Reza Rahimi. 

The removal was due to Mashaei's controversial statements in the past, including his religious comments and one on the possibility of a friendly relation between people of Iran and Israel which sparked the anger of top Iranian authorities.
