Honestly I dont know why it would be in the lead either  Perhaps Pejman felt it important to demonstrate that he isnt a dictatorPresident in a formal sense I guess he is a Vice Dictator   Maybe it is just to provide more information about his position as President since a reader may not be aware of his place in the power structure of Iran since the readers own country may do things differently  Or to say that the windbag is the second highest official in the country  This is just my speculation  Pejman has said that it is important so lets have him explain here      Wikipedia is not a crystal ball   Wikipedia does not go about predicting the end of Ahmadinejads term Instead the template wisely accommodates terms that have not yet come to an end Look at the George W Bush article for comparison and please stop using the templates incorrectly
