Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday he will ask supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to reverse what he branded the unjust disqualification of a close aide from next month's presidential election, AFP reports.
The conservative-dominated Guardians Council on Tuesday eliminated both the aide, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaie, as well as ex-president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani from a list of eight candidates for the June 14 election.
