Farid Reza Ahmadi, shortly after his election.
ABEHZ, ASIR - In an easy first-round win that sharply contrasted with his first presidential run, Farid Reza Ahmadi overcame several other rivals with 57% of the electorate to see himself regain the presidential seat he lost in 1592 to long-time rival Sattar Kashkouli. President Kashkouli, who was constituionally barred from a third term in office, surprised most by not throwing his weight behind a successor candidate.
Challengers for the open presidency could not mount a concerted attack on Ahmedi, who held and maintained a significant early lead in polls on recognition alone. The newly re-minted president though insists his continued stance on improving the economics of the country ultimately won the day.
"After stalling under Kashkouli, the people remmeber the improvements we made during my time [in office], and wished for a return to that," he stated in his address to the Majlis.
Under Kashkouli, encouragement for many of Ahmadi's reforms were halted, though most - like the relaxation of the dress code and decriminalization of those who flaunted it - were not outright rolled back. Ahmadi has pledged to both continue the old reforms while keeping with the "traditions of the Akhadic Revolution, in which women played a key and respectable role," and making "strategic" public and private investments.
While he made no mention, he is also expected to continue Asir's long-running rocketry program, which is slated to begin long-range missile testing later this year.
