More than five-thousand candidates affiliated with two dozen political parties and groups are running for the 290 seats. Correspondent Scott Bobb went into the streets of Tehran to talk to people about the campaign and what it means to them. It's the middle of the week and business is brisk at Tajzish Market lying at the foothills of snow- covered mountains in north Tehran. The weather is cool. It snowed recently.
Most people are in a hurry, but some are willing to discuss the elections.
Mehdi is a shopkeeper in the market. In another part of the market, Zein Ali sits on a stool by his fruit stand. A young man, he complains that every election the candidates make promises, but as soon as they are elected they forget them. To be honest with you, no not really. I haven't really decided, because I don't think what needs to be done is taking place.
