On Thursday, Iranian Interior Ministry officially announced the names of incumbent Hassan Rouhani, Ebrahim Raisi, Mostafa Agha-Mirsalim and Mostafa Hashemi Taba as the four hopefuls for the Friday presidential election.

Over the past days, the prevailing themes of the debates in the Iranian political scene revolved around either reform-oriented topics or subject matters which principalists, commonly referred to as conservatives, pursue.

Incumbent President Hassan Rouhani and conservative Ebrahim Raisi, the main rivals in the race and both the confidants of the Islamic establishment, represented different schools of political thoughts.

The centrists, led by the Rouhani, are hoping not to lose their current sovereignty over the conservatives.

If no candidate garners more than 50 percent of the votes, a run-off will be held on May 26 between the top two vote-getters.
