According to Anoushiravan Ehteshami, three things make this parliament noteworthy: return of the reformists to the parliamentary arena, a record of 17 seats held by female lawmakers and the fact that only 26% of the incumbent MPs were re-elected in the elections, making it a less experienced parliament.Ehteshami, Anoushiravan Iran: Stuck in Transition Politics of the Islamic Republic 2017 Taylor & Francis The Contemporary Middle East 102 9781351985451 Parliamentary groups The parliament has three main parliamentary groups: + Parliamentary group Voting strength PresidentPro-RouhaniHope≈103https://financialtribune.com/articles/national/65202/reformists-eye-control-of-majlis-presiding-board Reformists Eye Control of Majlis Presiding Board Financial Tribune 25 May 2017 25 May 2017≈193Mohammad Reza ArefWilayi IndependentsUnknownKazem JalaliOppositionWilayi Deputies<111https://al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/11/iran-parliament-vote-of-confidence-rouhani-ministers.html Iran’s parliament shows its true colors Al-Monitor 4 November 2016 25 May 2017 Rohollah FaghihiHamidreza Hajibabai The reformist Hope fraction is the largest bloc by number, however it is unable to form a partnership with a great number of newcomers and independents who owe little allegiance to any particular faction. Instead, the conservative allies of Hassan Rouhani led by Ali Larijani have effectively mobilized them. It was clearly illustrated when Mohammad Reza Aref declined to stand for the speaker and Larijani was re-elected uncontested with 237 out of 276 votes.
