Madani was also elected to the first parliament from Kerman, but was not approved. He eventually fled to the United States in 1980.

Madani studied law at the University of Tehran, before joining the Iranian Navy and moving to England to continue his education. In 1953, Madani reached the rank of Ensign in the navy, and in 1970 he reached the rank of Commodore.

Madani spent most of his service in Bandar Abbas and the Persian Gulf. He was dismissed from the navy in 1973 for his political activities, and until the 1979 revolution he taught political science and economics throughout various universities in Iran.

Interim government

After the revolution in 1979, Madani was named as Minister of Defence and a Commander of the Navy in Mehdi Bazargan's Interim government. However, after two months Madani was removed as the Minister of Defence. After this, per the request of Bazargan, Madani was the governor of Khuzestan.

In this election, Madani finished behind Abolhassan Banisadr, but ahead of Hassan Habibi, Dariush Forouhar, Sadeq Tabatabaei, Kazem Sami, and Sadegh Ghotbzadeh. He finished first place in voting in provinces such as Kerman, Kurdistan, Sistan and Baluchistan, Hormozgan, and Zanjan.

Parliamentary elections

Madani was also a candidate in parliamentary elections of 1980, and was elected from Kerman, however he was not approved and was eventually replaced.
