> the supreme leader's preferred presidential candidate doesn't always win

Candidates for president must be "approved" by the Guardian Council. Supreme leader hand picks half of the Guardian Council, the other half is selected by Majlis. But majlis nominees are "approved" by the guardian council. The circular dependency was seeded by supreme leader.

If A = B & B = C Then A = C. He hand picks the nominees for president.
