The Coalition of Eight Reformist Parties (Persian: ائتلاف هشت حزب اصلاحطلب) refers to the political alliance of eight reformist parties that endorsed a joint electoral list for 2020 Iranian legislative election in Tehran electoral district.[2]
The group was formed after the main umbrella group of the camp, the Reformists' Council for Policymaking, declared that it won't compile a list as a result of vast disqualifications by the Guardian Council, while allowing the parties within to form their own coalitions.[2] It was one of the two lists spawned from the camp, the other being Friends of Hashemi.[3]
The coalition was initially supposed to be formed by twelve parties, and its tentative title was 'Reformists in the Capital'.[4] At last, four of those parties were not present in the coalition and the name Etelaf Barayeh Iran (Persian: ائتلاف برای ایران, lit. 'Coalition for Future of Iran') was selected for the list.[5] It was headed by Majid Ansari of Association of Combatant Clerics, and included incumbents such as Mostafa Kavakebian of the Democracy Party and Alireza Mahjoub of the Worker House.[2]
The result of the election was a major blow to the coalition, as all of the candidates were defeated by a wide margin amid the lowest ever turnout recorded in the history of Islamic Republic of Iran.[6]
