Line 39:
Mansur was born on 12 November 1962 in Maharabad, Fashansahr. His family, Uways Mansur, was traditionally a clerical one, however, his father had left the clergy after he chose a different career path. His father would amass a large amount of wealth and establish his family as a wealthy one. 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 surroundign settlements. In spite of his status, 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 which was normally meant to be undertaken. His chairmanship would see a close defeat in the First 2002 National Elections. Nazeri would become the next president. A term that was included in the blessing given by the Supreme Leader stated that the vice chairman of the main opposition party was to be appointed as vice president of Dabiristan under Nazeri's government.
