An official said the incumbent Majlis Speaker Gholamali Haddad Adel and Ali Larijani, an MP for Qom, have agreed to present their plans for the post of speaker in the conservatives-dominated assembly.
Hossein Fadaei, secretary-general of the Society of Islamic Revolution’s Sacrificers, also told Mehr News Agency on Sunday that an agreement between the two will be an ideal situation, but in case of their disagreement the conservative faction will take the decision.
“The faction will hold two meetings on this issue. The first session will be held before the end of the Seventh Majlis tenure and the second will be held on the first working day of the Eighth Majlis,“ he said.

Fadaei said Mohammad Reza Bahonar, Mohammad Hassan Abutorabi, Asadollah Badamchian, Shahabeddin Sadr and Hassan Ghafourifard are candidates for the post of vice speaker.
Asked why Larijani was not invited to the society’s congress held recently in Tehran, he said, “We invited both Haddad and Larijani, but Larijani did not show up.“
Commenting on the absence of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the congress, Fadaei said, “We do not want the president to represent any political faction, but he is among the society’s founding members.“
