Javad Mansur (Dabiristani: جواد منصور) is a Dabiristani politician and was the eighth president of Dabiristan from 23 April 2006 to 23 April 2014 after serving as vice president under Musa Nazeri and Abdolhassan Maharadi. Javad Mansur became the first president of Dabiristan to hold office for two terms. Mansur has criticised the Wahdist Republican Party in recent years for rampant corruption within the party which has caused it to lose popularity.
Following the end of his second term, Mansur has mostly retired from politics. He still holds a position in the Supreme Advisory Council where he is known to give his input on contemporary issues in Dabiristani politics.
Early life and education
Mansur was born on 12 November 1962 in Maharabad, Fashansahr. His family, the Mansur family, was traditionally a clerical one. Despite this, Mansur's father had left the clergy after he chose a different career path. His father would amass a large amount of wealth over the course of his carreer; estblish himself as quite wealthy. His mother, Fatimah Mansur, was a primary school teacher.
At the age of 12, Mansur became interested in theology. With the help of his father, Mansur managed to enroll in Badaweeiyah Seminary. There, he studied under many prominent scholars. Most prominently, he studied under Mawlana Abdullah Ibn-Hamad, a prominent member of the Wahdist League before his death in 1977. Due to his tutelage, Mansur became a supporter of the Wahdist Revolutionaries. At the age of 17 in 1979, Mansur would become a member of the Wahdist League. He continued to study at the Badaweeiyah Seminary and completed all of his studies there.
Political career
Following the successful Wahdist Revolution in 1984, Mansur was made a campaigner for the Wahdist League. Mansur was regarded as a moderately successful speaker and primarily campaigned in Badaweeiyah and surrounding settlements. In spite of his status as member of the Wahdist League, Mansur would become attracted to the newly formed Wahdist Republican Party.
Mansur would officially join the Wahdist Republican Party in June of 1984, just four months after the revolution. Upon joining the party, he was immediately made a high-ranking official. His experience as a speaker and campaigner led him to becoming the spokesman of the party an year later. This appointment would last for the next decade. Mansur would be appointed as vice chairman of the party after Al-Musawi was elected in as chairman.
After Al-Musawi's loss in the 1998 National Elections, Maharadi was voted in as chairman. Mansur remained as vice chairman of the party as Maharadi did not shuffle that party's structure. Maharadi's chairmanship would see a close defeat in the First 2002 National Elections. The First 2002 National Elections were unique in the fact that, for the first time, a minority government was formed in Dabiristan. This minority government was also unique as the Supreme Leader of Dabiristan had personally given his blessing for it. The blessing also held many terms, including a term that stated that either the chairman or vice chairman of the primary opposition party must be appointed as vice president of Dabiristan. Initially, Nazeri intended to appoint Maharadi as his vice president but decided otherwise when Maharadi launched a vote of no confidence against his presidency. This resulted in the appointment of Mansur as his vice president.
Vice Presidency
Nazeri's presidency only lasted eight days as Maharadi's vote of no confidence succeeded. Mansur, as he was both vice president of Dabiristan and vice chairman of the Wahdist Republican Party, remained vice president of Dabiristan under Maharadi. He continued to serve until the end of Maharadi's term in 2006. Mansur would be responsible for proposing the Al-Badaweeiyah TrainLink program, which saw the construction of 8 raillines and 27 stations.
Maharadi would declare he would not run for a second term in his final month as president. Following this, a vote was held to see who would succeed Maharadi as chairman. This vote was won by Mansur by a landslide and he became the Wahdist Republican Party's candidate for the 2006 National Elections. Despite leading a small campaign, his reputation as Maharadi's vice president earned him large amounts of popularity. Mansur would win the 2006 National Elections, even securing an additional four seats for the Wahdist Republican Party.
Presidency
Nazeri ran the nation on a basis of economic development, decrease military spending and welfare expansion. His policies were extremely popular amongst the younger voting population of Dabiristan which formed the majority of the voting bloc.
