The Principlists fraction ( Persian: فراکسیون اصولگرایان) was the majority parliamentary group that controlled the 8th legislature of the Islamic Republic of Iran. [1] It was estimated to have at least 190 members. [2]
It was a conservative group led by Ali Larijani. [3] In 2009, a group of pro- Ahmadinejad members founded the group named Islamic Revolution fraction, unsuccessfully trying to unseat Larijni as the speaker. [4]
In October 2009, Morteza Agha-Tehrani was nominated to stand against Larijani, but lost 7 to 24. [5] The next year, Shahabedin Sadr was defeated by him with 20 votes to 25. [6]
