Legislative elections for Majlis of Iran were held on 14 March 2008,[2] with a second round held on 25 April 2008.[3] Conservatives loyal to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were considered the victors of the election, at least in part because "all the most prominent" reformist candidates were disqualified from running.[4]
