 Title:Who will be next president of Iran. Who is first vice president of Iran

Following the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on May 19, 2024, First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber has been appointed as the interim president. According to Iran's constitution, the first vice president assumes the presidency in the event of the president's death. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei confirmed Mokhber's appointment through an official condolence message [[❞]](https://www.dw.com/en/whats-next-for-iran-after-president-ebrahim-raisis-death/a-69133564) [[❞]](https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2024/5/20/what-happens-next-in-iran-after-raisis-death).


Mohammad Mokhber, who is 68 years old, has largely operated behind the scenes in Iranian politics but has strong connections with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which suggests that his interim leadership will maintain or even enhance the IRGC's influence in government affairs [[❞]](https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/ebrahim-raisis-death-who-will-be-next-iran-president-what-does-constitution-say-mohammad-mokhber-news-101716180085154.html). Mokhber will serve as caretaker president until a new election is held, which is mandated to occur within 50 days of Raisi's death [[❞]](https://www.dw.com/en/whats-next-for-iran-after-president-ebrahim-raisis-death/a-69133564).


The upcoming election is expected to face significant scrutiny and skepticism. Previous elections, including the one that brought Raisi to power, were criticized for lack of legitimacy, and similar concerns are anticipated for this election. The political and economic challenges in Iran, including high inflation and public dissatisfaction, could lead to low voter turnout and continued unrest [[❞]](https://www.dw.com/en/whats-next-for-iran-after-president-ebrahim-raisis-death/a-69133564) [[❞]](https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2024/5/20/what-happens-next-in-iran-after-raisis-death).


While Mokhber is set to temporarily lead the country, the death of Raisi, a potential successor to Khamenei, might also reignite discussions about the future supreme leader. Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme Leader's son, is another contender, though his potential appointment could provoke further public discontent and unrest due to his lack of popularity [[❞]](https://www.dw.com/en/whats-next-for-iran-after-president-ebrahim-raisis-death/a-69133564) [[❞]](https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/ebrahim-raisis-death-who-will-be-next-iran-president-what-does-constitution-say-mohammad-mokhber-news-101716180085154.html).
