Elaheh Rastgou (Persian: الهه راستگو‎‎; literally means The Veracious Goddess) is an Iranian conservative-minded[4] reformist[5][6] politician who is currently a member of City Council of Tehran. She was formerly a Member of Parliament.

Career

Rastgou enterd Islamic Consultative Assembly's 5th term in Malayer's 1997 by-election, defeating the incumbent Hassan Zamanifar. She was a sympathizer of Executives of Construction fraction at the time.[7] In 2000 elections, she ran for a seat in Tehran, Rey, Shemiranat and Eslamshahr as Freethinkers' Pinnacle Party's candidate and was defeated.[8][7] Backed by reformist 'Coalition For Iran',[4] she was defeated in 2004 from the same district. In 2008 parliamentary elections, she lost again while listed in both Islamic Iran Participation Front and National Trust Party endorsing lists.[9]

She lost 2003 and 2006 elections of City Council of Tehran, but eventually won a seat in 2013 while being supported by reformists coalition.

2013 allegiance switch

A sudden switch of allegiance by Rastgou, reformist-backed member of the Tehran City Council, helped Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf to retain his seat by a vote margin of one.[6] Following the vote, she was 'fired' from Islamic Labour Party because allegedly 'braking her oath to vote for the reformist mayor'.[10]
