The Wilayi Independents (Persian: مستقلین ولایی) is a parliamentary group in the 10th legislature of the Islamic Republic of Iran, unofficially led by Ali Larijani.
[2] The faction was chaired by Kazem Jalali,[3] who was succeeded by Gholam Ali Jafarzadeh.
[2] In the beginning, the reformists whose list elected 125 candidates to the parliament, expected the moderate independents to join them on a majority faction with about 169 members.
[7] However, after the parliament was opened many of them broke away and created a new faction in the parliament along with some conservative rivals and independents to "pursue a moderate agenda".
[6] Members of the parliament who were elected by List of Hope backing, and joined the group instead of Hope fraction, were accused of "opportunism".
