The Septuple Coalition was the electoral alliance of seven[1] communist political groups contesting in the 1979 Iranian Constitutional Convention election with the stated objective of "exposé"[clarification needed].[2] The alliance also endorsed candidates of the Organization of Iranian People's Fedai Guerrillas –which was not part of the coalition– despite the differences between them.
Their main base of support came from lower and lower-middle class students.[1] The leading candidate in the list was Morteza Aladpoush[2] who received only 49,979 votes in Tehran constituency.[3]
