Iran's Ministry of Interior announced Sunday the names of the six candidates who are set to compete in the country's upcoming presidential election set to be held on June 28.

Iran opened a five-day window for interested candidates to register their names for the 14th presidential elections as successors to the late President Ebrahim Raisi, who lost his life in a tragic helicopter crash on May 19.

The candidates were approved by the 12-member Guardian Council, which oversees constitutional and religious compliance for fair elections.

Campaigning will start on June 12 and continue until June 27, as announced by the government. If no candidate wins a majority of votes on June 28, a runoff will be held on July 5.

As Raisi's term was set to expire in August 2025, the candidate who wins the next presidential election will serve a full term of four years.

Currently, Vice President Mohammad Mokhber is acting as Iran's interim president.

The candidacy of former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has not been approved by the Guardian Council.
