Iran’s parliament elects its speaker annually through an internal vote by the 290-member Islamic Consultative Assembly, typically in late May. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf secured re-election for a seventh consecutive term on May 25, 2026, reflecting continued backing from the conservative majority bloc that dominates the chamber. No subsequent legislative moves, factional challenges, or procedural actions have emerged to indicate removal before the next scheduled vote. Ghalibaf continues to fulfill official duties, including public statements on foreign policy and diplomatic contacts through mid-2026. The next presidium election, expected around May 2027, remains the primary scheduled opportunity for any change in leadership.
