Year 84: The Contenders – Hashemi, Ahmadinejad, and Ghalibaf
In 1984, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s victory marked a significant turn in Iranian politics. Hashemi Rafsanjani made a notable return, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, then a commander, also ran, showcasing a diverse field of candidates. Ahmadinejad’s campaign was characterized by its populist imagery, often depicting him as a man of the people, in touch with the everyday struggles of ordinary Iranians. Ghalibaf, on the other hand, used his military background to project an image of strength and stability, frequently featuring himself in uniform on his posters. These visual strategies were effective in appealing to different segments of the electorate, highlighting the importance of targeted visual communication in modern political campaigns.
