As chairman of the newly established city council, Bahmani played a role in announcing and overseeing the selection of **Shirinoo’s first acting mayor**, followed by the appointment of the city’s first official mayor by the Governor of Bushehr Province.[3][4]
He publicly emphasized the legal authority of the city council in the mayoral selection process and called for timely issuance of the mayor’s official decree by the Ministry of Interior.[5]

In discussions with the Deputy Minister of Oil and the head of the National Petrochemical Company, he requested the extension of **natural gas infrastructure** to surrounding rural areas, a proposal that received preliminary approval.[8]

Alongside his political work, Bahmani is active in the media sector. He is a **member of the Board of Directors of the Press and Media House of Bushehr Province** and has been involved in local media management initiatives in southern Bushehr.[10]

Disqualification and Political Stance
In the lead-up to the seventh round of Iran’s Islamic councils elections, Bahmani was disqualified from participating in the election due to "lack of commitment to Islam, the Islamic system, and the Constitution". This decision was made based on his consistent stance against corruption, injustice, and systematic discrimination, which he had frequently criticized in his political career. In response to the disqualification, Bahmani released a statement rejecting the allegations and asserting that he remains committed to the values of Islam, the Islamic Republic, and the Constitution. He further emphasized that his stance against corruption and injustice is a form of practical adherence to these principles. Bahmani called this disqualification a "medal of honor," recognizing it as a symbol of his fight for justice and against corruption, rather than a stain on his character.[18][19]
