Iran Bans Politicians With Dual Citizenship From Becoming Lawmakers by HonNL: 1:41pm On May 22, 2023

Lawmakers approved an amendment to Iran's Parliamentary Elections Law during a session of the parliament on Sunday.

The new measure will be added as the 12th provision of Article 30 in the Law.

Based on the new provision, Iranian nationals holding permanent residency in another country, as well those who possess or have acquired citizenship of another country, will not be eligible for parliamentary seats.

Lawmakers said the amendment is aimed at addressing concerns about dual loyalties and making sure that elected representatives have exclusive allegiance to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In 2016, the Iranian parliament formed a special committee to investigate reports that a number of Iranian officials, including some MPs, were dual nationals or had permanent residency of other countries.

The parliament passed a bill in 2020, banning dual citizens from running for president in Iran.

I wouldn't blame them.

Somehow, when you look at it critically, it's the right thing to do.

Issues and jobs that are very sensitive that deal with the life and livelihood of a nation I believe should be left exclusively for those who do not have a second home to run to should things go south. Or imagine having a president who swears allegiance to another flag? Oops...a country in the western part of Africa already has one.

It does not matter how war torn, or blacklisted Iran is, Iran is still better than Nigeria.
In medicine, in Military, in technology, in oil and gas, in agriculture and even in governance they are better, but Nigerians would not agree. We are still blinded by our past sparogative glory.

Go to Iran and see Nigerians doing petty jobs for Iranians, then you may be forced to say that Nigeria don finish patapata

I'm guessing Chimamanda and Ezekwesili will soon start writing letters to Iran to stop Tinubu's inauguration.

This is how it's supposed to be. Most of our politicians have dual citizenship that's why they can afford to do anyhow with Nigeria. If Nigeria is our only hope and home, we will definitely act better.

Left for me, anyone with dual citizenship or previously held citizenship with another country should not hold any elective or sensitive position in this country. This should should be the 1.1 of our constitution. I kinda hate dual citizenship as it's reduces patriotism since people will always have the idea of jumping ship at the back of their mind.

What's common sense about that? If my father is British and my mother is Nigerian, I cannot serve in either of them because of the other? Meanwhile both will gladly collect my taxes? It's a stupid law at the time when the world is rapidly becoming a global village. Even the concept of visa restrictions for people with no records of crimes is abnormal.

Iranian government does not want double patrioticism. Because they don't want espionage within their government.

Too security conscious for the best of their country.
