Manouchehr Eghbal Party of Nationalists Jafar Sharif-Emami Independent Parliamentary elections were held in Iran between 30 July and 20 August 1960.
In order to demonstrate the appearance of a democratic free election, the Shah allowed candidates from the popular National Front to compete,[4] however it returned no seats for them.

The elections "were extensively and clumsily rigged" and the fraud "was exposed in the press, provoked public rancor and restlessness".
[6] Aside from the opposition figures, pseudo-opposition People's Party and a number of independents led by Ali Amini denounced the elections.
