Parliament elections

[edit | edit source]

They competed in the 2008 Iranian legislative election as part of United Front of Conservatives.[10] After the elections, their winning candidates formed a new Parliamentary group named "Islamic Revolution", claiming to have 90 members.[1]

In 2010, some reports indicated a dispute inside the group,[1] and in the 2012 Iranian legislative election, some members formed Stability Front, claiming not to support the followers of Ahmadinejad.[5] Another newly formed group called Monotheism and Justice Front, was linked to Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.[11]
