No news coverage of Alemi was found in any outlet. The Independent Parks Party website carries a homepage, a volunteer sign up and a terms page, and no platform document or candidate page could be opened, so the party's positions could not be recorded. Alemi's employer, education, and the organisations behind the work in Iran, Costa Rica and Ghana were not established. No campaign event or forum between September 22 and October 17, 2026 could be confirmed.
