Year 76: The Reformist Wave

The seventh and eighth election periods centered on political versus economic development. In 1976, Syed Mohammad Khatami, advocating for political development, won against Ali Akbar Natiq Nouri. Khatami’s campaign was notable for its innovative use of posters and other visual media to convey his message of reform and progress. His posters often featured modern, optimistic imagery that contrasted sharply with the more traditional, conservative visuals used by his opponents. This approach helped Khatami to connect with younger voters and those seeking change, ultimately leading to his unexpected victory.
