Individuals who have publicly expressed interest
Ali Motahari, incumbent Member of Parliament (since 2008), said in May 2019 "We should consider the situation and conditions and see who are the candidates; and whether they have supporters and can garner votes... Let's say, if I felt that I had the people's vote, while nobody else had it, I might run".[2]
