About nine months before his passing, Imam Khomeini (pbuh) proposed Ayatollah Khamenei as the future leader of the Islamic Revolution, and subsequently, during various periods, he explained the necessary characteristics for leadership of an Islamic society. Considering that the system of religious democracy is a unique and unprecedented model of governance, and one of the reasons for this distinction is the existence of the leadership position, it is necessary to examine whether the system's performance in the selection of the leader has been in line with the indicators of religious democracy (Islamism and republicanism). Therefore, the main question of this research is: What indicators led to the selection of Ayatollah Khamenei as the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran? Given the topic and research question, it seems that a qualitative method with an analytical-descriptive approach is an appropriate method to achieve the research results. The reason for choosing this method is that it allows for the description of events related to the selection of the leader, while examining the realization of indicators related to the processes of republicanism and elements of Islamism in the thought of religious democracy, with the processes that have taken place for the selection of the leader and the characteristics of the selected individual. The results shows that the specific indicators of religious democracy (republicanism and Islamism) based on legitimacy in Shia political thought, the system of Imamate, and popular presence and acceptance, which are reflected in the constitution, govern the process of the selection of Ayatollah Khamenei.
