Iran
formal political parties are a relatively new phenomenon in
Iran and most conservatives still prefer to work through political
pressure groups rather than parties; often political parties or
coalitions are formed prior to elections and disbanded soon
thereafter; a loose pro-reform coalition called the 2nd Khordad
Front, which includes political parties as well as less formal
groups and organizations, achieved considerable success in elections
for the sixth Majles in early 2000; groups in the coalition included
the Islamic Iran Participation Front (IIPF), Executives of
Construction Party (Kargozaran), Solidarity Party, Islamic Labor
Party, Mardom Salari, Mojahedin of the Islamic Revolution
Organization (MIRO), and Militant Clerics Society (Ruhaniyun); the
coalition participated in the seventh Majles elections in early
2004; following his defeat in the 2005 presidential elections,
former MCS Secretary General and sixth Majles Speaker Mehdi KARUBI
formed the National Trust Party; a new conservative group, Islamic
Iran Developers Coalition (Abadgaran), took a leading position in
the new Majles after winning a majority of the seats in February
2004; following the 2004 Majles elections, traditional and hardline
conservatives have attempted to close ranks under the United Front
of Principlists and the Broad Popular Coalition of Principlists;
several reformist groups, such as the Mujahadin of the Islamic
Revolution, came together as a reformist coalition in advance of the
2008 Majles elections; the IIPF has repeatedly complained that the
overwhelming majority of its candidates have been unfairly
disqualified from the 2008 elections
