1974 Shahsavar By-election
A by-election was held in September 1974 to fill the vacant seat for Shahsavar in the National Consultative Assembly, the lower house of the Imperial State of Iran. Campaign At the time, the ruling New Iran Party led by Prime Minister Amir-Abbas Hoveyda held the absolute majority in the parliament and its opposition, the People's Party, was regarded a "pseudo-opposition" party loyal to the state. The representative of Shahsavar in Mazandaran Province who had been appointed to a cabinet office, resigned his seat due to legal requirements. In October 1974, the newly-appointed Minister of Interior Jamshid Amouzegar chose his deputy ministers, neither of whom having any experience in holding elections. The next general elections were scheduled in less than a year and though it was not legally mandatory for the government to hold an election for that vacancy, Amouzegar decided to use the occasion to gain experience. Iran's monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi agreed that the election ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
