The fifth Iranian Assembly of Experts election were held in Iran on 26 February 2016 to elect the members of the Assembly of Experts. All 88 members[2] of the Assembly of Experts, who are known as mujtahids, are directly elected. The elections had been planned for 2014, but were delayed in order for the election to be held alongside the Islamic Consultative Assembly elections.
The winning candidates of the elections, sitting until 2024, may have to choose the next Supreme Leader of Iran, or at least plan for it.[3] The current Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei (born (1939-04-19) 19 April 1939 (age 85), then aged 76), is reported from time to time to be in poor health.[4] Incumbents were reelected in 49 of the assembly's 88 seats.[5]
