Composition[]

The parliament was dominated by the conservatives.[6] There were two main parliamentary groups active during the term: The majority Followers of Wilayat (Rahrovan) led by Ali Larijani and chaired by Kazem Jalali, along with the minority Principlists fraction led by Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel.[7] The latter was composed of more conservative groupings such as Paydari and Pathseekers, however Larijani's fraction was hostile towards President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.[8][9]

In the first session Speaker election, Haddad-Adel lost to Larijani with 100 to 173 votes out of total 275.[10]
