description: "Kazem Rajabi Seddiqi is an Iranian Shia scholar and Mujtahid currently serving as Tehran's Friday Prayer Temporary Imam. A rival of President Ahmadinejad, Seddiqi was appointed as interim Friday prayers leader for Tehran by Ayatollah Khamenei on 1 August 2009. The New York Times characterized the appointment as part of an effort to \"reinforce [Khamenei's] authority by cultivating divisions between factions\" following the controversial June presidential election."
