Refusing to nominate for 2020 Iranian legislative election
Iranian legislative election was held on 21 February 2020. Due to the unacceptable socioeconomic situation in Iran and the lack of positive impact of parliament in the country's situation, he refused to nominate for 2020 Iranian general election. Through writing a letter at 8 December 2019, he explained the reasons why he decided to refuse nominating himself for the coming legislative election:[1]
I apologize to Iranians for the lack of positive influence of the parliament in improving the economic conditions of the country while in contrast, we have seen the decrease in the economic power and the hardening of living conditions of you in at least during the last four years. I do not have a worthy response to your rightful expectations from the parliament in order to improve your livelihood and living conditions, which is one of the basic demands of anybody from its officials.
