Standing in the wings is one possible candidate who might take up where Khatami left off and address the economic and cultural concerns of young Iranians. Though he has not announced his candidacy, Mohammad Baquer Qalibaf, now Mayor of Tehran and formerly the country’s chief of police, has a relatively moderate track record and an image of someone who can get things done.
谁更能关心年轻伊朗人的经济文化需求？他就可能继承哈塔米的政治遗产而获得大家的拥护。现任德黑兰市长和前任国家警察首脑罕默德·巴基尔·卡里巴夫的形象相对比较温和，给人一种干练的印象。虽然目前为止他本人还没有宣布参选。
