City Council of Tehran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Islamic City Council of Tehran (شورای اسلامی شهر تهران) is the elected council that presides over the city of Tehran, elects the Mayor of Tehran, and budgets the Municipality of Tehran. It has fifteen members.

All the members of the current council are conservatives belonging to the Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran (Abadgaran) and are close to the President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. But it is widely believed that none of them would be chosen as members of his cabinet, because such an act would lead to the succession of Mostafa Tajzadeh, a reformist, to the council.
