Ahmadinejad Finds a Technicality

So I reported here that Ahmadinejad might face a vote of no confidence in parliament because he has lost so many members of his cabinet Ministers.

Well it looks like Ahmadinejad might be able to get off on a technicality. NIAC is reporting that Ahmadinejad has technically not accepted the resignation of his Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Saffar Harandi. Theoretically, this means that Harandi is still officially part of the cabinet even if he does not report for work.

What this all means is that Ahmadinejad will probably not face a vote of confidence in the last 8 days of his first term. Clearly not accepting a resignation in order to not deal with parliament is not a good way to end a term. This can only mean great things for his second term.

Anyways, Ahmadinejad still needs all of his ministers approved for his new term and must also face a vote of confidence for his entire administration in order to legally move forward in his second term. As we can see with this disaster, Ahmadinejad might have a tough time getting that approval.
