Career

Mayor

Tehran's city council appointed Hanachi mayor on 13 November 2018. Winning 11 votes out of 21, Hanachi is the third mayor appointed by the fifth Islamic City Council of Tehran, and the 14th after the Islamic Revolution in 1979.[4] He is the third mayor to be elected since reformists swept the city-council elections in May 2017.[8] Initially, his security clearance was delayed, possibly in an attempt to damage his reformist movement.[9]
