Elected Prime Minister
Ahmad Qavam
Democrat Party
Parliamentary elections were held in Iran in 1947. The newly elected parliament was opened on 17 July.[4] The election was a three-way power struggle between Ahmad Qavam, Mohammad Reza Shah and pro-Britain conservative politicians.[5]: 240
Prime Minister Qavam's control over electoral machinery was in many districts challenged by "Imperial Iranian Army officers, independent local magnates and pro-British provincial governors".[5]: 240–241
A public protest by shopkeepers, bazaaris and university students and headed by Mohammad Mosaddegh among other politicians was held to call for a free elections, however, despite Qavam's promise to hold a free election, it was "rigged" and his Democrat Party of Iran won the majority, including all 12 seats in Tehran.[5]: 240–241
