 Probably not.  Because, firstly, until two weeks before the election, he does not know whether his qualification will be confirmed or not;  Especially if it has a different character than the prevailing atmosphere.

 And even if the qualification is confirmed, due to not having enough opportunity to advertise, he will not be able to vote on his own and must inevitably enter the election lists;  Lists that are usually closed by groups that are less trusting of young people.

 I hope that those who are rightly happy with the election of Zahran Mamdani, will pay attention to the various dimensions of such an election and think about the question of how such a person can be elected at this age with so many differences from the mainstream in America.

 Otherwise, the news of those elections in Iran will be more regretful than happy for a generation of young people who think differently from the previous generations and want to influence the social and political environment.
