President before election Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Abadgaran Elected President Hassan Rouhani CCA

The Guardian Council screened 680 registered candidates, approving just eight to run in the election; Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, Ali Akbar Velayati, Saeed Jalili, Mohsen Rezaee, Mohammad Gharazi, Hassan Rouhani and Mohammad Reza Aref.

Haddad-Adel and Reza Aref later withdrew from the race in the days leading up to the election. Incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did not run for re-election as he was limited to two terms or 8 years in office under the Iranian constitution.

While Rouhani is a high rank member of Combatant Clergy Association, his candidacy in the election was not supported by CCA which has conservative tendency.

He was supported by some moderate and reformist parties such as Moderation and Development Party and Islamic Iran Participation Front as well as Iranian reform movement. Rouhani's motto in the election is "E'tedal" which is translated to "Moderation" and he is described as a moderate politician by some western sources.
