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]
